The Dress

Purchased at Jaehee Bridal Atelier (Englewood, NJ) at Kenneth Pool trunk show. I admittedly fell in love with Kenneth Pool after watching Lauri Waring-Peterson shop for her gown on Real Housewives of Orange County - then adored the Ava style due to the gothic window beading design on the train, which I maxed out on custom size for full effect!

Train is cathedral + extra 12 inches.

Cleaned and preserved at Kelchner Cleaners in Kutztown, PA using Museum Method™ Wedding Gown Preservation. Condition when I opened for the first time since preserving over 10 years ago was absolutely meticulous. Gown has been mounted and hung with canvas straps to maintain shape.

As seen in the movie When In Rome with Kristen Bell!

Worn with Rainbow UK "Perov" court shoe - Heel height: Approx 3 3/8" (8.5 cm)

Alterations

Was required to order a gown size 6 due to bust measurements - street size was closer to a size 2 - I started a medication a few months before the wedding which led to rapid weight loss so waist and bust were taken in again. At time of wedding I was 5'4" and approximately 118 lbs. - 32D natural bust.
