The Dress

This dress was custom-made for me in ivory silk-satin. It is GORGEOUS and fits and feels amazing. However, we have decided to take a different direction with our wedding so it no longer fits the aesthetic—but lucky for you this means it has never been worn except to try on! The dress has a fitted, wrapped torso with built-in corseted chest support for C-D cup and a back invisible zipper. The skirt is fitted on the hip, then falls loose down the thigh with a subtle slit on the left leg to show off your wedding shoes! Train features godet pleats for a vintage look, and is sweep length, or approximately 10 inches long. The dress was supposed to be hemmed to match my height in shoes (5’2” plus 3 inch heels) but as you can see from the photos, there is still quite a lot of fabric at the bottom so this could easily work for someone 2-3 inches taller than me. Sleeves have hidden snap-on buttons so they can be worn on the shoulder, off-the-shoulder, or removed altogether for a strapless look. Inspired by elements from the Watters Orlie and Vivienne Westwood 2022 bridal looks.
