The Dress

Sweetheart neckline with lace details to make it more of a boatneck. Sleeveless with a low/v back. The dress is tea length style but it fell more around mid shin on me and I am 5'7". I did not have it shortened. The dress is a lovely ivory that is not yellow or dingy-looking like some ivories can be. I did have a few alterations done (see that description). I wore it with a belt borrowed from a friend, so that is not included. You can see the waist of the dress without the belt in the picture of it hanging up.

Dress has only been worn once for my wedding (plus trying it on for alterations, of course). My wedding was in August 2017, and afterwards I immediately had it professionally dry cleaned and preserved. I waited a year to sell it because I was on the fence about whether I wanted to keep it.

The bottom line is I loved this dress--it was exactly what I wanted and I loved that it was tea length. I got to show off my royal blue shoes, did not have to worry about people stepping on a train/or longer dress throughout the day, did not have to worry about dragging it through the grass/dirt, and it was easy to walk and dance. The reduced amount of fabric from having a shorter length even allowed me to use the restroom alone, which was very nice! I highly recommend tea length, even if you don't choose my dress!

Is $300 more than you're looking to spend? Make me an offer!

Alterations

-Beaded applique detail at the waist was removed (it looked awkward to me).
-A few more lace appliques added to the skirt (the bridal shop ordered the official ones from the designer, so they match perfectly), because it felt like it needed more of them.
-Bodice taken out very slightly.
My bridal shop's tailors were amazing and they did a great job with these alterations!
