The Dress

I absolutely loved wearing this incredibly flattering, modern,and simple Selby Rae dress (link below) -- it made me feel so beautiful, classy, and confident.

Material of the dress is stretch crepe, and it is extremely comfortable and easy to walk/dance in! The bust has a corset boning to ensure a firm fit and make your waist look small. The gown has flattering asymmetrical pleating that shows off your curves and forgives any flaws. The neckline is straight across with slight scoop and the train is chapel length (3-4ft). There are buttons all the way down the back of the dress and train, but the dress has a hidden center back zipper.

The dress is in great condition - worn once (~5 hours) and has been professionally cleaned. There are no stains and the only signs of wear are a few small snags (see last photo). The only alterations done were on the length (to fit a 5ft 10in person) and a ballroom bustle was added.

The dress was purchased in December 2023 from the Wedding Shoppe in St. Paul, MN. https://www.weddingshoppeinc.com/collections/selby-rae-wedding-dresses/products/selby-rae-diamond-ava-wedding-dress.

Alterations

* No alterations to sizing of the dress
* Shortened to suit height of 5ft, 10in
* Ballroom bustle added (as to not change the shape of the dress), harder to see in photos as it is tucked under but the bustle is done in the second to last photo.
* Loop added near end of train to hook around your wrist (so handy on the day!), loop is hidden inside dress when you're not using.
