About the Dress

This is a Claire La Faye Vida dress, purchased from WildBride boutique in San Francisco in December 2022 and worn at my wedding at the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature in Paris in June 2023.

I absolutely love this dress and felt like a faerie princess.

- Easy breezy: It was important to me to find a lightweight, comfortable dress that was easy to walk around in - this one fits the bill!
- Detachable and drapeable cape: The cape is detachable at the shoulders, but I also had a snap attached to the seam that connects to a cream wrist strap, so you can keep the cape on but drape it over your arm for a classical goddess look.
- A-line: The dress is fitted through the top of the ribcage / waist and flowy through the hem - very forgiving.
- Flowy: The silk chiffon drapes and photographs beautifully.

The dress and cape are in perfect condition and have been professionally dry-cleaned. They are waiting safely in the Claire La Faye garment bag for your special day!

From Claire La Faye's site:
- Fitted deep V bodice with spaghetti straps.
- Sheer lace back bodice and gathered A line silk chiffon skirt.
- Detachable silk chiffon cape included.

Alterations

Cape alterations: for walking and dancing, added a clear snap on the cape's center seam to attach it to a cream wrist elastic, included (see 8th photo and the video for an example of how this looks).
Dress alterations: hemmed skirt to floor-length with heels on (165cm), added thin bra cups, straps are straight instead of criss-cross.
