The Dress

Ramona New York (Ramona Keveza) RB012 was purchased in late 2021 but did not arrive from the designer until spring 2022 for my fall 2022 wedding. Purchased from Annika Bridal Boutique in Minneapolis, MN. It was ordered originally as a wedding dress size 12 (street size 10) so that I had more coverage in the bust area BUT it was altered in the waist to a smaller size more equal to a wedding dress size 10 (street size 8). I would not suggest anyone over a street size 8 purchase this dress, and if you are under size 8 you can alter the dress to your size!

I'm 6ft tall, so this dress is perfect for any height 6ft or under! The dress does plunge in the front, and on the average height woman this would be slightly lower than the pictures. However, a seamstress told me that the straps can also be shortened in order for the bust to move up.

Alterations

1) The neckline was raised slightly by the designer before sending to me so it was not as plunging/low cut in the front, although I'm 6ft and it was still pretty plunging on me, so should still show a lot of cleavage for the average height woman.

2) My seamstress added on several 3D flower appliques on top of the existing dress, which can be easily removed by a seamstress if you do not want the added flowers and want to revert to the original dress. My floral applique material was ordered directly from the designer, so matches the 2D floral already on the dress!

3) The dress was originally ordered as a size 12 even though I measured at a 10, so that the breast area could have more coverage than it originally does. However, it was taken in quite a bit in the waist area since 12 was too big on me, so that's why I labeled this listing as a size 10 wedding dress (which should be about street size 8). You can always alter the bust area it if it is too big, as I am a 34D but have a small waist.

4) Loops for a bustle were added underneath the train
