The Dress
Oh, this dress! What a dream come true. Wearing it, Kristen felt special and on-trend, while also feeling classic. The soft, stretch fabric makes it super comfortable for all-day wear. For a dress as fitted at this one, it's remarkably flattering and smoothing - I did not wear any special undergarments with it. Kristen was the perfect dress - I felt like a bride without feeling BRIDAL.
I styled the dress with a six foot, narrow, off-white veil with a metal comb attachment and a flower crown. I can include the veil if requested.
I wore the dress twice - we had an intimate wedding and then a reception party three weeks later. The dress was dry cleaned in between the two events and again after. It's currently stored in a garment bag in a closet with cedar blocks.
Another great thing about this dress is that it travels SO well. It came shipped to me in a small box and came out of the box looking perfect. I stored and transported it in the same box, only taking it out the morning of my wedding. It's super low maintenance. No steaming or anything necessary. Awesome for a destination wedding. I still have the original box and will ship it to you the same way.
Fun fact: if you view the dress listing on the designer's website, the real bride is me!
Overlay: stretch lace. Underlay: stretch charmeuse. Lace is off-white, underlay is nude (see photo of gown hanging). Scalloping detail along every edge of the gown (see detail photo). Built in, molded cups. Semi-cathedral length train. Train bustles up inside the dress with 5 hook and eye clasps - when the dress is bustled, it looks and feels like a floor length gown, no weird bustle is visible! (see photo of me dancing with my dad). Long, fitted sleeves with snap closure. Diamond cut out back detail. Back zip closure + hook & eye at back neck.
The dress was made to my specific measurements (listed below) and then taken in minimally at the side corners of the open back, where it gaped slightly. The alterations were done by Dreamers & Lovers. There is no label size since it was custom, but I am a street size 0-2. It fit me beautifully, but it was not skin tight. There was some wiggle room. And since it's stretch, it's super forgiving.
Size 2
Bust: 32B
Height: 5' 5.5"
Shoe height worn with dress: 3.9"
Weight: 115
Alterations were done by Dreamers & Lovers. After I received the dress the first time, it was sent back only once for alterations. It was taken in minimally at the side corners of the open back, where it gaped slightly. The length was taken up about an inch in the front. (I ordered the dress online and they never saw me in person. It was made slightly long to begin with because it's always easier to fix too long than to short! So the measurements are accurate on length even though it was taken up.)
One of the snap buttons on one sleeve was loose, but it appears my cleaners fixed it because it's perfect now! I am unaware of any other flaws on the gown.
