The Dress

Bought this dress from Kleinfeld in NYC. Received so many compliments on this dress on my wedding day, I loved it!

The fabric lining underneath is nude color. Used this dress for about 6 hours that day. Generally in great condition save for a minor tear at the bottom hem that can easily be fixed (the dress was accidentally stepped on that day, I can send pictures if you want).

SHIMMERING FIT-AND-FLARE WITH LACE
Ready, set, glow. This bold wedding dress from Essense of Australia offers sheer radiance with its glistening design details—starting with a unique neutral underlayer of glitter tulle fabric for a delicate sheen throughout the negative space detailing. Artfully placed floral patterns shower throughout the figure-flattering bodice, complete with defined bust cups and visible boning throughout the sheer bodice for a corsetry inspired effect. Fabric-covered buttons top off the look with yet another touch of classic yet sexy detailing, complemented by slight ruching and a full flare of a sheer tulle train detail.

Alterations

I had the low v-neckline (that dipped almost to belly level) closed up with lace embroidery. Alterations were done in-house by the Kleinfeld team. The result was seamless. No one could even tell alterations were done.

A traditional bustle was added at the back though I didn't end up using it at all.
