The Dress

Rita Vinieris 1995 Alyne Windsor Ivory White Size 8 Wedding Dress
Deep-V satin flared gown
This is a very minimalist and beautiful wedding dress with a clean silhouette. It accentuates curves with a very form-fitting elegant look. The color is called ivory, but the dress is a soft white. It is lined with buttons down the back with a hidden zipper. The top bodice has a gorgeous mesh plunge down the front. The dress material feels solid and high-quality. It doesn't feel too thick, but it provides a nice amount of structure. The train is long with one of my favorite features -- the buttons line the entire back to the end of the train. The dress was easy to dance in when bustled and did not fall down throughout the night.

Alterations

The bodice was taken in from its original size and is extremely tight on top to ensure no falling or slipping when worn. The hips were also taken in slightly but there is extra space in the hips to allow you to be able to sit down. A bustle was added. The dress was hemmed from its original length by a couple inches. I am 5'4" and wore the dress with 2.75 inch heels, for reference. A crystal belt was added along the waist.
