About the Dress

Truly the most flattering dress I’ve ever tried on!! If you want to feel like an elegant princess from head to toe, this dress is for you. Hand beaded bodice that is stunning and will fit all the small bust girlies. I am an athletic built (short torso, long legs, muscular arms) and the a-line on this dress is perfect for that! I am typically a 6-8 size normally in jeans/dresses and on the taller side (5’9” in 2-3 inch heels) but the dress can be easily hemmed.

The dress makes your waist look so small and the silk, beading and lace is beyond feminine, sophisticated and beautiful. Jaw dropping backless dress that has satin buttons all the way down the train. I worked with an amazing seamstress who didn’t do many modifications other than make a bustle that is made for the dress and thicker straps as mentioned below. The beading is all along the skirt of the train too and when bustled it creates a ballroom dress that looks like a second look! I danced the night away and only changed into a reception dress for the after party.

The dress is stunning, in like-new condition and I just want someone else to feel as special as I did on my special day! Will have the dress professionally dry cleaned from the place I purchased the dress from!

Alterations

Replaced the spaghetti straps with thicker, more comfortable straps that match the beading utilizing a belt by the same designer ($300 add on).
