The Dress

I bought this dress right before the world shut down in 2020 so by the time it was made and ready for pick up, my destination wedding had been cancelled :( I tried it on one time at home but after that it’s just been hanging in my closet. The dress is still in the original garment bag and has never been altered.

I am a 10-12 regular size but I had to go up because of wedding dress sizing (self explanatory?) and I have a bigger bust so they recommended I go with the 16 otherwise significant alterations would have been done to the top which they advised me not to do.

What made me fall in love with the dress is how sexy, in classy way, it made me feel. Despite having a low V it didn’t feel overly revealing. The way the dress was constructed, how it hung and clung in all the right places and the beading placement all enhanced the hourglass shape.

We did have a civil wedding prior to 2020 and haven’t tried to reschedule the destination wedding so I think it’s finally time to give up the dress and hopefully it can find another home where the bride and the dress can do each other justice. It’s too beautiful to never be worn and be tucked away in the back of a closet forever.
