The Dress

I hope this dress makes someone feel as beautiful as it did for me! I have never felt so feminine, powerful, and confident in my life. I had planned on keeping it in case a daughter might want to wear it some day, but I recently realized how unlikely that will be in 20 years as styles change so much. I want someone else to be able to enjoy the dress and I decided to sell it to help save up for a house!

It is form fitting with a long, beautiful train and detachable off the shoulder sleeves. Buttons down the back and has an American bustle. It has a very subtle sparkle via some translucent sequins scattered throughout the dress. The top layer is a bold, baroque lace with a second layer of smaller, more delicate Chantilly lace followed by a light tulle and then a nude underskirt.

It is altered, see description below. It was dry cleaned and preserved immediately after the wedding and stored in a climate controlled storage room, only opened to measure and take the video above.

Designer's website description: "Figure-enhancing, floral baroque lace lightly embroidered with mini paillettes subtly twinkles over delicate layers of soft tulle français and french chantilly lace. The floral, baroque lace continues to cascade into a dramatic, sculpted train to complete this awe-inspiring look. The bodice has delicate detachable, draped soft tulle français off-shoulder sleeves."

Color: Ivory lace with nude underskirt

Material: Baroque Lace / Chantilly Lace & Tulle

It was altered with clear thread, some of which has popped loose after being dry cleaned.

Alterations

Professionally altered at the wedding boutique's recommended alteration shop.

Length: altered for me without heels to 5'2". From the very top of the bust to the floor in the front is 49".

Bust: Some taken in between the cups to reduce cleavage. But the cups are likely still appropriate for a 38" bust as the original size suggests. (I had to utilize a strapless bra, sticky boobs, and chicken cutlets to keep it up. My bra size at the time of the wedding was a 32B.

Waist: The waist was taken in to 29 inches.

Hips: The hips were taken in to 38 inches

Bustle: 3 point American bustle. I have a photo of the locations of the loops I can email if needed!
