About the Dress

This dress is magical. The second I put it on, before even looking in the mirror, I knew this was the one. Pictures don't even do the dress justice. There are multiple layers that make the design look very intricate. There is the lacy top layer with the bigger floral pattern, a lacy underlayer with smaller flowers, and a blush color underneath all of that. The buttons down the back are a beautiful detail. I had a summer wedding, so didn't make use of the adorable jacket (last picture) but would have loved to use it if I had a colder weather wedding. The fitted bodice with a built in bra made me feel secure, but the looser lower half makes it easy to sit down and move around. In full transparency, I have put on about 10 pounds since my wedding last summer, so my measurements may not be the most helpful in this case.

Alterations

I took out a layer or two of crinoline and shortened to a height of 5' 4" (I wore sneakers, not heels). I also added in a bustle option.
