About the Dress

I cannot say enough about how stunning I felt in this wedding dress!
I paid $4,000 for the dress, and had the lining color changed from tan to off white (makes the design pop so much more!). $345 for the matching veil (blush tulle, tiered, 3.6 meters or 11 feet 9 inches). Then I paid another $1500 for custom alterations. They added subtle boning in the waist to make it fit so much better and show off the center cut out. I also added a 7 point bustle to hold the train.
I did not take bridal photos, and only wore the dress once, for 2 hours (I changed dresses to dance, but this dress is comfortable and could have been danced in).
I immediately had it dry cleaned and preserved. It is in absolute pristine condition. No stains, snags, or any signs of wear.
It would be a shame to have it sit in a closet, and I’m hopeful another bride can take as much joy from wearing it as I did. It was beyond my wildest dreams!

Alterations

Ordered in a size UK 12 to accommodate my larger boobs. Taken into a UK size 10 (US size 6). Added subtle boning in the waist to make it fit so much better and show off the center cut out. I also added a 7 point bustle to hold the train. Dress was also hemmed, but left longer/“puddle hem”.
