The Dress

-The dress was purchased at Bridal Reflections in Manhattan. It is a stunning Galia Lahav Haute Couture Custom Ms Elle Dress from the Royal Collection created by the fabulous Sharon Sever Faiblish, Head designer at Galia Lahav with custom detailing from four other dresses (described below in the alterations section).

-It is extremely form-fitting and sexy with a very long 7 layer train in the back creating a very dramatic and regal look. It makes you feel like a princess walking down the aisle! The details are so intricate and truly stunning. The pictures really do not do this dress justice...It is absolutely breathtaking live!!! Even when I would try it on at the store ( which I did on 5 different occasions), when I would walk out of the dressing room, whoever was in the room would gasp and react to the beauty of this dress (some even asked to try it on!).

- When it is bustled, it is very comfortable and easy to dance in.

-I have the instructions on how to bustle it written down and also explained in a voice note.

-The dress is very stretchy and could have easily been worn if I was 5 lbs less or 10lbs more. My dress size ranges between a 0 and a 4 depending on the dress.

-My cup size is usually a 34C. There is extra padding and support given that you cannot wear a bra. The padding can be removed for someone with a bigger bust.

-The back has some sheer detailing which allowed the dress to be completely backless and yet perfectly held together and comfortable.

-I am 5'6'' and wore 5 inch heels. The dress can easily be shortened.

- I have a stunning 12 foot long Galia Lahav veil ( the "Camille") with lace detailing all around that I am willing to sell separately (price not included). I chose to wear it low in my hair but it looks beautiful worn high or in front of the face as well.

-The dress has been professionally dry-cleaned (so was the veil) by a cleaner specializing in wedding dresses and is ready to be loved and enjoyed!

_ Price is negotiable.

-Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have!

Alterations

We customized the Ms Elle Dress:
- They replaced the peacock detailing in the train with the flower detailing of the new Ms Suzanne dress to match the flower detailing on the corners of the dress.

- They opened up the area of the bust in between the breasts and put a transparent detailing from the Ms Guerlain dress which made the bust a little sexier yet still elegant.

-Above the bum, they changed the shape from a straight line with detailing to the heart-shaped and ruched detailing from the Ms. Loretta in order to emphasize the behind and create that plump “peach” booty look we all love.

- We made the straps thinner than in the original dress for a younger look but couldn't make them too thin as the straps hold the dress up given that it is backless.

- We added two pieces of the sparkling material from the Ms Joyce in the front of the dress to create a very subtle shiny look in the front (the sparkly material catches the light when you walk and dance).
