The Dress

Danielle Frankel Noa Dress: Wilted, long sleeve off the shoulder bias cut silk wool gown with criss-cross draping detail across low back. Darts at bust for shaping and 5 inch slit opening at inner wrist. Boned internal bustier with grosgrain, three closure position belt, wireless cups, and center back external zip. Fully lined skirt.

Purchased new at Loho Bride in July 2023. Worn for a few hours at our courthouse ceremony in November and professionally cleaned.

The internal lining of the dress has a water stain sustained in the cleaning. It isn’t really visible when worn, particularly if you hem the dress during the alteration process.

Alterations

All alterations were done at Loho Bride:
- Length: I am 5'8" and wore flats. Approx 1 inch was taken from the front hem only.
- Sleeve length: I had approximately 2 inches taken from the sleeves so they would hit mid-hand rather than covering my fingers
- Bustle: Train flip bustle with internal snaps to create the illusion of no bustle at all so the train doesn't drag, etc.
-Bodice: Tightened to fit my bust/waist - bust: 35", waist 27"
