About the Dress

This is a beautiful, Jim Hjelm dress, style 8814 – one of Jim Hjelm’s best selling styles, in the unique white color. This fitted french alencon lace halter mermaid dress was the only dress that fit exactly what I was looking for – the silhouette, use of materials and color – it definitely is not your average white strapless dress!
Pictures don’t do this dress justice. It has been stored in a dress bag in the closet ever since my wedding. Was tried on for alterations. This dress will fit a street size 2 -6 – see alterations for more details.

Alterations - This dress is a Jim Hjelm size 10, which runs at least 2 to 3 size small. This will fit a street size 2 - 4 well. Alterations done: The sides were taken in a quarter of an inch on each side to make it a tad more fitted (size 10 was a bit too big). The lace halter was taken up as was the length of the dress - it was too long, made for someone tall - 5'10" or so. This dress will fit someone 5'7" tall (with shoes on - not showing from under the dress). Measurements: Bust: 32-34" / Waist: 28-30" / Hips: 35-37" This dress already has a bustle for the train and the bottom of the dress on the interior has a 1.5" lining which helps to keep the bottom of the dress from ripping and helps to keep it laying flat and adds a bit of backing structure - see photo.
