About the Dress

This dress is designed by Netta BenShabu and is called "The Diana." It is lace, beaded, and has lining that is all shine so that it catches the light and sparkles subtly. It is somehow more stunning in person. The designer Netta BenShabu handed this dress to me herself in Los Angeles. The sleeves are detachable - perfect for the sophistication of a ceremony and then to take off for the reception. I am not lying when I say if i could wear this dress a million more times I would. If it wasn't lace i would have dyed it black just to wear it again because it is that stunning. I wore this dress only for the ceremony, and then changed, so there is absolutely no wear on it. I am so excited that someone else could wear this stunning dress for their perfect day. I wish I had found this dress on this site!! Also, you will see my gorgeous cathedral sheer veil with stitching around the edges that I purchased at Kinsley James Couture Bridal, as well, for $650, called "Journey." Let me know if you're interested in that, as well! xo

Alterations

I customized this dress, as the designer had mesh/netting in the back (you can look up the original design, it is Netta BenShabu's "The Diana") but I don't particularly like see-through mesh on wedding dresses... so I had it taken out to just lower the back and added more of the gorgeous buttons. I also had my seamstress insert bra cups that can be taken out, added an additional inning to the skirt to make it less see-through in the light, and made the sleeves detachable! This dress would be a 00-0 in a dress you would order from revolve or Bloomingdale's.
