The Dress

I loved wearing this Pronovias Raciela dress to my wedding ceremony and reception in fall 2021. It photographed beautifully and has a timeless, elegant look that can be worn with the off shoulder straps or without as a strapless dress. I think the official color is ivory but it photographed very white. I felt amazing in this dress and it fit beautifully. While form fitting, I felt comfortable and was able to dance! First 2 photos show the dress bustled and when undone, the dress has a beautiful train.

The dress has not been dry cleaned but only the bottom part of the dress where it brushed the ground has some marks; nothing a good dry cleaning won't fix. Please reach out with any questions. If you’re in NYC can also arrange an in person handoff of the dress in its original garment bag!

Alterations

Alterations made to original:
- I had the straps sewn in to prevent them from unbuttoning during the day but that can be easily reversed.
- Originally this was a US size 10 (UK 12) and I had it altered to be taken in a bit in the waist and the hips and hemmed to brush the floor when worn with my 2.5" heels (I'm 5'5 without heels). After alterations it was closer to a US size 6.
- The corset top was taken in a bit to make the dress more form fitting at the bust so there was no gaping day of - I felt extremely secure in the dress and danced without any worries of spilling out.
- Bustle button loops added to train - super easy to bustle
