About the Dress

Lace applique mermaid strapless wedding dress by Oleg Cassini I wore for my wedding this past July (Ivory/Cashmere). The dress is a size 6, however I typically wear a size 4 in street clothes. I'm 5'0, 120lbs. The dress has a beautiful chapel train that trails behind, which you can bustle for your reception (English style).

As soon as I put the dress on, I knew it was the one. It's very romantic, feminine, and timeless. I had many compliments, and never felt more beautiful. The material was not scratchy, or too rigid, and was comfortable to wear day/night. I decided to wear a cathedral veil to complement the chapel train of the dress. I immediately loved the cashmere color of the dress, as it's not your typical white wedding gown. My husband and father both cried as I walked down the aisle, which in turn made me follow suit. We were married in the ruins of the oldest Catholic church in the city we live in, but the dress would also be perfect for any venue, traditional or casual. Please message with any questions/concerns, I'd be happy to answer. It has been professionally dry cleaned and could pass as brand new. My hope is this wedding dress can make another bride feel as beautiful as I felt on my wedding day!

Alterations

I had spaghetti straps, and a rhinestone belt added, along with an optional English bustle for the chapel train.
