The Dress

This was the dress of my dreams, I hope someone else can get some use out of it too!
It is the definition of simple yet elegant. It is super form-flattering with the tight waist and open low back and then the skirt is so flowy and full. It even has POCKETS!
It was SO fun to twirl around on the dance floor in it and have everyone ooh and ahh at how it spun! The buttons run the full way down the skirt, which is just so gorgeous, and I had it altered with a ballgown bustle.
The straps are thin but didn't bother me at all during the long day, it was still very comfortable even by the time we left. The skirt was full but not too heavy either- I danced a lot.
I wore it with a cathedral veil, which can be included with the dress and is also in good shape.
Despite my wedding being outside, the dress is in good shape! Still looks very clean and no big stains or anything. I had it dry-cleaned immediately afterward. It is missing a button which I am sure could be easily replaced.

Alterations

It is a size 6 but I had the waist taken in slightly and the sides altered so it fit my back a bit better. The seamstress also added sewn in cups which I am sure could easily be swapped out for a different size if desired. She also added a ballgown style bustle which was perfect so the dress would still twirl fully even once the train was taken out of the way.
