The Dress

This is one of those dresses that look/feel SO much better when trying on rather than seeing it on a rack. My bridal stylist suggested it - I unwillingly put it on as it looked too simple for me and I ended up falling in love with it. It immediately made me feel 10x more confident then when I reached down and felt the pockets, I was sold.

It does have a very deep V neck with some nude mesh in the middle to hold it together, but that helped make a statement as it's an otherwise pretty simple silhouette. It's also extremely secure. I was concerned about it being strapless as I didn't want to deal with constantly pulling my dress up, but I did not have to do that a single time during the whole day.

There is a very high slit on the left side, but you can only notice it if you're reallyyyy sticking your leg out. Good for some fun pictures.

The front is floor length and the back has a fairly long train with tiny button details going down the whole back length (zipper closure that goes down to near the buttocks to easily get in/out of it).

I have a plus size curvy body and I loved how it flawlessly hid my insecure areas (stomach/legs) while still giving me a nice shape.

Alterations

Dress was only altered for length. I am 5'3 and the shoes I wore were about 4.3 inches high. The front was altered to just graze the floor with shoes on.
