About the Dress

Elegant and minimalist, with a touch of lace for the bride who dreams of her long-sleeved wedding dress! This ivory, crepe dress features a clean silhouette contrasted by detailed laced sleeves. The sleeves include a stunning flowery design and 7 buttons at the wrist. The front of the dress has a plunging neckline with a nude mesh to hold it's v-shape. The padded bra sewn inside is made to fit an AA cup - C cup so several sizes can fit this lovely frame.
There is no bulky corset or underwire- just the bride's natural waist and hips. The back is a zip-up, deep and wide v-back to show-off a little skin or perhaps some jewelry. This flattering fit-and-flare is evident from the back view and flows nicely down the clean and sensible train. The 3-hook bussel is intact as shown in the photo for an easy reception dress.
The dress was dry cleaned soon after the wedding and was hung in the closet in a plastic bag for a year to keep off the dust and wrinkles. As of this post the dress has no visible stains or outer tears/holes. There is minor wear on the fabric at the hip level- "pills"- likely from friction as the laced sleeves rubbed against the dress while holding flowers. This in no way should show up in photos or be a noticeable issue in real time. It can also likely be eliminated using a pill-removing method.
This dress is STILL talked about by the bride's friends and family! It was perfect for her and she hopes it will be perfect for you too!

Alterations

This bride ordered a size 6 with "extra-long" sleeves and had the waist and bust taken in for her size 2-4 upper body. This left a little wiggle room around the hips for a modest fit while showing off some curve at the waist. Again, several bust sizes should fit the bodice. And for a tighter fit at the hips, a hip size 38-38.5 may fit as well.
