The Dress

Ethereal Strapless Ball Gown Wedding Dress with 3D Floral Appliques

I fell in love with the dress the second I tried it on, and I tried on many. The cut, the fit, and the very subtle but gorgeous sparkles from the second layer of the dress are absolutely perfect for wanting to feel like a princess but not being too over the top about it. The bodice and the boning on the chest of the dress are gorgeous and slimming and I love that the back has the illusion of buttons but also has a zipper so it is easy to get on and off.

Worn once to my wedding 2 weeks ago, it has not yet been professionally cleaned but is almost perfect! The innermost layer has some slight dirt on it from the dance floor but it is minimal and will come out with a cleaning and the rest is in great condition.

I will also include the veil that matches the dress at no cost! :)

Alterations

This is a size 10 dress, it was hemmed about 2" on the bottom to accommodate my heel height, and the chest was taken in a half inch on each side right under the armpit, so it was about 1" total. The waist and all other areas were left untouched. We also added an elastic liner around the waist on the inside to help hold up the bustier since the top can be heavy. This worked perfectly and held up great all night. There are also 3 little bustle attachments at the back of the dress. 1 at the end of the zipper and 2 more underneath the first layer to have it bustled nicely without dragging. You can see a side view of it in the photo and how it does not drag as it does in other photos.
