The Dress

The Justin Alexander Cambria gown (style 88207) in bridal size 4 has a slimming crepe fit-and-flare skirt with a fully beaded bodice. The bodice features a bikini neckline with tulle crossover detail at center front and deep-V side cutouts, Chantilly lace underlay, and is embellished with silver embroidery adorned with tonal beading and pearls. The bodice has built-in bra cups. There are also beading details along the waist and the spaghetti straps. Crepe-covered buttons cascade down to the end of the chapel length train.

I am 5’4” and the dress was hemmed to my height with 3 inch heels.

The gown was purchased new and worn once, then professionally dry cleaned. I paid $2300 for the gown + $450 for alterations (see alteration details below). See photo for minor signs of wear that easily disappear in the folds of the skirt when worn.
