The Dress

Are you small-chested and short? Then this dress would best suit you!

Worn for at most 3 hours total for an elopement ceremony and photography session, includes times taken for fitting at the bridal salon. Don't be intimidated by the deep V-cut neck because this dress is actually great for brides who are small-chested. It is surprisingly flattering for those with a 30-33 inch bust. I am actually a 28 inch waist, but this BEST fits a 26 inch waist. It was really tight on me. The hips are more free since it is an A-line silhouette. There is an adjustable clip "leotard" inside the dress and the design already has bra cups built in so no need to shop for the perfect bra. My seamster added a button/loop that allows you to bustle the train.

This dress has detailed beadwork on the torso as it flows toward the skirt. There's also a cute small bow above the waist. Color is a mix of cream and ivory. The fabric and layers feel luxurious. It was also comfortable to walk and move around in (with some help holding the train of course). Berta lives up to the quality and aesthetic reputation! From the TLV 2020 Collection.

Originally a sample dress bought at an Authorized Berta retailer.

Alterations

Alterations were minimal since I mostly fit in the original size. Straps were shortened. Skirt was hemmed to glide off the floor in 4 inch heels (I am 5'2 without the shoes). Seamster left more length in the back to give it more of a train than it originally had.
