The Dress

This dress was everything I wanted and more.

Wedding was held outside, and the train was originally a little dirty but had it cleaned. You can see some very faint darkening, but the lace structure is intact. The bustle thread in the back broke but can be easily replaced to bustle on one of the buttons in the back.

I’ve stored the dress in a cool, dark place and haven’t hung it from the straps to make sure the lace doesn’t stretch (as instructed). I hope someone else can enjoy it as much as I did. It’s so comfortable, so flattering, and I stayed in it all night dancing.

Comes with Grace veil that I added pearl veil weights to (to keep it from blowing away). Will ask another $75 if you want it!

Alterations

I’m 5’8” and had the dress altered to fit me in heels. The straps were shortened to let me wear the dress with only the cups it comes with and still feel kept in place. It’s totally possible to use some of the lace from the bottom of the dress to create longer straps if needed! My seamstress did it seamlessly after they were mistakenly made too short the first time.
Dress was also taken in at the waist to fit my 26/27 waist. The dress is a size small from GLL and very stretchy. For comparison, I wear a size 26 in Abercrombie long jeans.
