The Dress

Absolutely loved my wedding dress! It was the most comfortable dress I tried on. The material gives so you can breathe. The stunning train length, detailed lace and bead work are gorgeous. The open back is also a stunning feature. I had the dress professional cleaned right after the wedding. I also have a matching veil if interested. It is a short veil to allow the train to be the star of the show with small crystals on the edge of the veil that match the dress. My dress is Ivory Lace and Tulle over Ivory Gown with Ivory Tulle Illusion. Some of the designer pictures online show the model with nude underlay that gives it a different look.

Designer description: Of course lace can be sexy! With all-classic inspiration, this fashion-forward bridal gown from Martina Liana will turn heads at your modern wedding. Diamond-shaped cutouts and French laces create multiple levels of negative space detailing, creating a strong focal point for this unique style. Additional layers of French tulle and laces are added in the bust for extra coverage within the sheer bodice, so you can go bold without going overboard. Large scallops create the breathtaking train—flowing from underneath the fitted bodice for a soft, ethereal feel to this searing silhouette. A bold open back is highlighted with floating laces and thin straps—also featured along the deep V-neckline—adding a gentle simplicity that highlights your neck and shoulders perfectly. The back of this wedding dress zips beneath fabric-covered buttons, a traditional touch which flows throughout the exquisite, modern train.

Alterations

Alterations were $550, which is not reflected in the retail price of $3,200. I had the straps shortened, the length shortened to float just above the ground (I am 5'6'' and I wore 4inch heels), and the bustle work includes 5 buttons to bustle the long train.
