The Dress

This dress was the centerpiece of my fairy tale wedding. No one could stop talking about it! It is a Martina Liana whimsical tiered ballgown made of intricate lace and layered tulle, in ivory-over-moscato for a soft, airy look. It has been professionally dry-cleaned and because of the intricate layered tulle, the very minor wear from its one-day use is not at all noticeable. I am 5'10 and wore 3" heels so I did not have to have this dress hemmed, but it would be very easy to do so, in which case the bottom would have no wear at all. Everything above the very bottom hem is still immaculate. It would be perfect for someone on the slim side, regardless of height (due to easy hemming). It would accommodate almost any hip size due to the ballgown shape. I did not wear any bust padding, but this dress has the ability to create amazingly flattering cleavage if you do or if you have a bigger bust. I had planned to keep this dress forever, but we're trying to downsize in anticipation of a new baby. Happy to send more photos of different angles or details as requested; this dress is spectacular in photos, and even more so in person.

Alterations

It started as a standard size 8 but the waist and bust were taken in to the dimensions above (25" waist, 32" bust).
