The Dress

WHY I LOVE THIS DRESS: I love my dress, it was exactly what I was looking for. It has a long beautiful lace train, which was great for the pictures and created a beautiful bustle. The lace train consists of flowers and leaves. I didn't want a simple dress, but I also did not want an ostentatious dress, this dress landed in the middle and I felt like it fit my personality. It also has lacey cutouts on the side and back, which adds to the sexiness, while maintaining class, one of my more favorite things of the dress. I am self conscious of my belly and did say no to other dresses because of this, but this dress, even before I lost weight, flattered my body (especially my belly), which was a BIG reason as to why I said yes to this dress.

I also have a Shein dress that is fit and flare as well that I am willing to include for free. Feel free to contact me here so I can provide clearer images/ videos.

Alterations

ALTERATIONS: Being totally honest, the beading does add weight to it, so it is on the heavier side, which is one of two reasons why I added the sleeves. The first reason, being that I am self-conscious of my arms as well, and I felt that the sleeves delicately hid them. There is flexibility in the sleeves as you can have them hanging or pull it up to your shoulders to help the dress from weighing down (as can be seen in my pictures). That said, the sleeves can be removed by a seamstress. I am 5'6 and 150 pounds, so the sizing was adjusted to this. It was hemmed to accommodate my height with 3 inch heels.
