About the Dress

This dress is the 1697 Martina Liana that was purchased brand new from Tru Society by The White Dress. It was absolutely stunning and such a dream to wear. It's a size 10, column style dress with beaded spaghetti straps. The neckline is scooped with a draped fabric style. It's got multiple layers of stretchy material, tulle, and lace. There's beading on the entire gown it, sequins, and designs of flowers built into the lace. The dress has a beautiful "V" back with pearls going down the length of the entire dress and train. The sides of the dress have sheer panels with pearl-beading details.

At the time of purchasing the gown, I was about a size 6 in normal dresses, size 10 in wedding gowns. Due to some health issue I lost about 15 lbs before the wedding and the dress still fit beautifully and photographed so well, so I would say it could fit anyone from a size 2-6 could wear it, depending on how tight fitting you want the gown to be. I was about 115 lbs on my wedding day, and the dress didn't gap in the front or in the back. I am 5' 4.5" and the dress was slightly longer than floor length, and I wore heels that were about a half inch.

The dress was professionally dry cleaned after my wedding and is in near perfect condition. The inner-most layer of the dress has some slight signs of being worn before.

Website description:
A striking column silhouette adorned in sparkling embellished lace catches every ray of light down the aisle. Style 1697 features elegant spaghetti straps that suspend from a gently scooped neckline, effortlessly draped across the bust to highlight the figure. Sultry side cutouts join a gorgeously low illusion pearl-adorned back detail that introduces the soft ruched hip of the fitted sheath skirt. Exuding sophistication and glamour with every movement, this sexy column wedding gown is a true showstopper.

Alterations

The alterations that were made to the dress were cup inserts (B size) for some extra padding and lift, 2" taken off the hem (so I wouldn't trip on the dress), and 1 and 5/8" taken off the beaded straps.
