The Dress

Vera Wang couture gown - absolutely stunning and so unique. It's both structured and architectural, yet approachable, soft, and inviting. I knew this dress was the one the second I saw it as I've never seen anything like it before. It's not an absolute paper white color, more ivory - but as you can see it comes off as white in pictures. The complexity of the color (is it white or is it ivory) is due to the material of the dress being so layered (each layer is see through when held up on its own, but all layer on top of one another and is obviously lined). It has been fully dry cleaned, tailored, and preserved post wedding.

Minor flaws (all fixable):
- slight fraying where armpits would hit. this was true of the dress when I tried it on, but your tailor will pin them for you depending on where your arm hits. because of this, my tailor didn't want to pin them up post wedding since she knew I would resell.
- in the last picture you'll see that one of the layers isn't pinned up. this isn't a flaw and again was done on purpose by my tailor. some layers need to be re-pinned after getting the dress fitted so she didn't want to pin it knowing that I'd be reselling and someone else getting it fitted.
- slight graying at the bottom when held up to light but not noticeable when worn and can be cut depending on where you want to hem it.

(forgot to get a video of the dress but will add)

Alterations

alterations aren't anything crazy or restructuring of the dress. it was just tailored to fit me specifically. I have a larger bust (34DD) which gives you some extra room to be able to tighten and fit the dress to you if needed.
