The Dress

This Justin Alexander gown has been kept in a clean smoke-free home free of any pets or odors. I wore it for my wedding June 2022. Incredibly comfortable dress with an illusion bodice & sleeves in a beautiful vintage rose/cream hue. The bishop's sleeves really made me feel like a classic Spanish bride! The high waist allows you to be relaxed throughout the day. The deep v-neck helped to minimize my large bust. When trying on other dresses I found many other styles to overly accentuate the bust and be unflattering. The sheer lace bodice helped to lighten my curvy figure. My US dress size is generally 12/14, sometimes 16.

More details on dress design. Chantilly lace underlay with appliques over the top. Vintage rose color. Called "the Jan dress", but due to it being private label, it is not searchable online. Original Justin Alexander tags still attached. I am 5' 7" but wore a roughly 2 inch Frye Chelsea boot that made me about 5' 9" from floor to top of gown. Dress grazed the floor. My bra size is between 36 DDD and 38 DD. I wore a sheer silicone bra that provided moderate support. It's difficult to wear a real bra without ruining the effect of the illusion bodice. Would recommend some sheer option.

In excellent condition. The dress could not be dry cleaned due to the significant lace applique (two cleaners rejected to treat it due to its delicate nature). However, there are no odors or stains, with the exception of a tiny dirt stain under the main skirt. There are some tiny spots of fraying in the train from walking around during the day. Overall, it is much like new. The wedding took place in upstate NY in late June, and it was comfortable in moderately warm weather, though I think it would be ideal for a crisp spring or fall wedding.

I will offer matching veil for another $200, if interested. Original veil price was $300. It was used only on the day of the wedding and has been kept in original packaging since. I can provide detailed receipt of dress & veil upon request, along with my measurements as made by the Bride's Shop in SLC, Utah.

Alterations

We originally ordered the dress in the label size 22, because of a deadline, though we had to take it down several sizes. I would estimate that it is a label size 18, but cannot be sure. Please reference my measurements provided above.
