The Dress

I absolutely loved wearing this Justin Alexander dress for our wedding and reception! It is classic and timeless, but also has some special details with the pockets and floral brocade fabric (see the final photo to see the pattern). I found the dress physically comfortable, and never had to worry about it being too low, too tight, etc. Yet, it still felt like it had some drama with the low back, the fitted waist, and the long-train. The heavy fabric meant that I didn't have to worry about wrinkling or bunching, and the photographer said it hung and moved really well. Overall, the dress felt simple and special all in one!

The dress does show some mild wear; because our wedding was outdoors, there is subtle darkening around the hem, especially where the dress was bustled (ballroom bustle), although it was dry cleaned afterwards. There is also slight wear on the fabric from movement. There are no major stains, rips, or other major issues.

I was really happy with this dress, and I hope it can give someone else a joyful start to a joyful marriage as well!

Alterations

The waist and bust were taken in, straps were shortened, and dress was hemmed. Cups were tacked into the dress, and the belt was tacked on (both easily removable).
