The Dress

This is a made-to-order J.ANDREATTA - LUCCA dress. The details of this dress makes it so unique and elegant. It is made from super fine tulle covered with thousands of soft Ostrich feathers, highlighted with glass beads and pearls. It is truly a one of a kind dress that will bring you to tears---it definitely brought me to tears. I originally came into the store to try on a few other dresses that were in my intended price point but when I walked into the store, I saw another person with it on and it was BREATHTAKING. I asked to try it on and it was the ONLY dress that brought me to tears and made me go "this is it". It was about double my budget so I wanted to make sure that it was THE ONE. Over the next few weeks, I went to EIGHT different bridal stores and tried on 8-10 dresses PER store and nothing came close to the Lucca dress. I had to have it. This was my DREAM dress for my wedding in October 2023. I wore this dress with a super long veil and it was *chef's kiss*. This dress only saw about 8-9 hours of action from the time I put it on after hair and make up to my ceremony and through the first dance, mother/father dance, cake cutting. After which, I changed into a party dress since I didn't want to damage her when the party started. I am so sad to see my dress go but I know it will make another bride as happy as she has made me.

Alterations

The dress came really long so I had to get it altered to fit my height with heels. I am 5 feet 3.5 inches and wore 3 inch heels. I had a bustle put in for the train and had the seamstress secure the buttons along my back to prevent them from falling off. Additional charge of $2500 to have them do this.
