The Dress

This was a made-to-measure LPG wedding dress which was designed in 2021 and worn once for my wedding in August 2022. It was purchased at their flagship store in NYC. I'm selling it for 73% off. The exact measurements are below. I'm 5'8.5", 118lb, bra cup size C, and a flat bum (but this dress made me look like I actually have some butt!). Originally I wasn't going to wear heels but they left a little extra fabric - I ended up wearing ~ 3 inch heels and the length was perfect, didn't need to do any hemming (although you could if you needed to). I can't remember exactly if the sample size I tried in the store was a 0 or 2 but those were the sizes I was trying on and they fit pretty perfectly. But as I said it was ultimately made to measure. The dress model is "Bella" which you can google. I had the following customizations done: a sweetheart neckline, extra-lowered the back, added a blush-colored silk lining underneath to give it sort of a pink tint (more noticeable in sunlit photographs, less so without sun; overall has the white wedding dress look with a little blush tint), and added spaghetti straps made from the leaf design fabric in the dress. They said they hadn't done these modifications for this dress before so it really is a unique piece (if you search other models of bella on this website you can see how mine is different). The straps were detachable but I had them sewn in - a seamstress could remove them if you prefer strapless. I also have additional fabric if you would prefer a drop sleeve off the shoulder which I was considering but ultimately fell in love with the straps. The thin belt is detachable but I liked that it accentuated my waist line. I also had the seamstress line the corset in the back with some fabric on the interior so you do not see the corset hooks. I also had a bustle added. I had cups sewn in which could be removed. I'm a size C and the cups were pretty thick so if removed or smaller ones put in, there would be less cleavage or would fit you if you had D size boobs for example.

Our wedding was outdoors but as you can see there was a stone pathway to the wooden altar. I carried the dress when walking between locations (i.e. from the hotel to the ceremony site to the reception site). I wore the dress for dinner and our first dance and then changed into a different dress for the remainder of the evening. Nothing was spilled on the dress and it did not get dirty. I had it professionally cleaned and it looks brand new. Happy to answer any and all questions! I love this dress so so much and got a ton of compliments. It's tight but was comfortable and not too heavy. It's very feminine and classy but sexy at the same time. I am selling it because I know I will never wear it again and it's so beautiful that I think it would be a shame if it were only worn once.

I indicated that the fabric is lace but it doesn't have a traditional lace feel.

Alterations

See above. It was made to measure. The only alterations were having straps sewn on, cups sewn in, and bustle made, as the designer recommended those be done by a seamstress.
