The Dress

This dress is extremely flattering! It hugs you in all the right places and provides support from top to bottom. I normally wear a US size 6 or Medium, but the label on this dress says size 10. I also bought the version of this dress that is lined (directly with the designer), since I wore it to church and the version that has a panel to cover the high-slit. I will also include the cathedral veil that I purchased from a different designer (look at pics) that match the dress - unfortunately there is a slight rip on it so you will have to probably get your seamstress to apply a similar lace pattern on it (still I paid around $650 for the veil and you'll get it included with the dress). Also both the dress and the veil are dry-cleaned.
The official website description for the dress is: "Sleeveless tulle and Schiffli lace appliqué fit and flare bridal gown features beaded Schiffli lace appliques, 3D flowers, dress with plunging V-Necklineline, corseted bodice, draped flower and lace cap sleeve, sparkle illusion, dramatic high leg slit, chapel train"

Alterations

I had the dress hemmed to fit me - I ended up being around 5'6'' with my heels on. I also had the bust and waist taken in a little bit - I fit a B cup bra and measure around 28.5'' around my waist. I also had a bustle fitted throughout the train - there are a few buttons sewed in and loops to bring the train in. This version is also lined (directly with the designer) and I also bought the version with the slit covered - which I had the seamstress sew shut.
