The Dress

MAKE AN OFFER! Amazing dress! Classic and timeless. This was literally the first dress I tried on. Material has weight and structure to it, and slight rusching in the midsection area in addition to internal corset helps create a nice illusion to hide extra weight. Totally highlighted and helped polish my hourglass figure. I was hesitant to sell but with a growing family, it is the right choice now. Size US 10, UK 14, EU 40. This fit like a glove—only alterations were the length, addition of the ballroom bustle, and making the original sewed-on bow removable. Dress originally $3500; total $500 spent on alterations (included in retail price); $225 spent on dry cleaning—all this is reflected in the retail price.

The now-removable bow easily unclips. The genuine freshwater pearl halter piece was my own touch that I added and is completely removable. Veil with pearl details included, originally $200 (I did not include this or the pearl halter addition in the retail price listed). Gown has an internal corset that rests at waist and prevents dress from sliding down! Ballroom bustle is beautiful, see pictures. You can alter and do a different bustle type if you wish.

When laying flat, gown measurements are as follows: 17.5” bust, 14” waist, 18” hips. My measurements at time of wedding: 36” bust (31” underbust), 30” waist, 38.5” hips. 34D bra fits but slightly too tight for my taste, I wear 36C. I’m 5’3 and wore 60mm (about 2.5”) heels. Dress was altered in length to accommodate my height with heels. This dress would work for anyone 5’2” to 5’6” depending on your heel height or if you choose to wear a flat shoe. Hope this info is helpful, I felt beautiful and super comfortable in the gown and I hope the next person that gets to wear it does too!

Alterations

NO ALTERATIONS TO THE SIZE 10 FIT OF THE GOWN. Only alterations were the length, addition of the ballroom bustle, and making the original sewed-on bow removable. Total $500 spent on alterations.
