The Dress

I LOVED my wedding dress! I wore it for two nights of celebration, it was so comfortable and easy to move around in, I felt totally myself and wasn't worried about the dress (it wasn't too heavy, it didn't snag on anything and the fabric was soft and lightweight). The plunging neckline was very flattering and the sheer mesh in the front really is invisible. I also couldn't get enough of the cute tiny buttons down the back. I enjoyed having the support of the cap sleeves and when it was bustled, I could totally move around and hug people and not trip over the dress. I used some boob tape to secure my chest in the dress, and that was comfortable and I didn't need to wear a bra. I changed into a jumpsuit for the dancing portion of my evening, so the dress, while worn over two nights, was just really worn for photos and the ceremony.

I really hope someone else can enjoy this beautiful gown and make their own memories in it :) I bought it new and then put ~$800 of alterations into it, and I am hoping someone can continue to enjoy it!

Style No. 52407863; Color Code: 011

Intricate corded lace was designed specifically to suit the silhouette of the Wtoo by Watters Philomene Wedding Gown, resulting in a flawless fit and lighter-than-air construction. Cap sleeves and a plunging lace v-neckline complete the bodice, while the open back is embellished with a row of tiny pearl buttons. The shape slightly transitions into a trumpet silhouette, hugging the body and flaring into a delicate train.

Alterations

The length was adjusted to be at the floor when I was wearing white blundstones (I am 5'6") and the waist was taken in slightly. The sheer fabric over the plunging neckline was also lowered a little because it was a bit tight on my neck, but the plunging neckline is unchanged. Cups were also added to the bodice and a simple bustle in the back (you can see in the photos!).
