The Dress

This Carolina Herrera gown is gorgeous - timeless and also modern. The Claudette is from the Spring 2015 collection.  It has an A-line shape with a plunging v-neckline and short sleeves. It is made of beautiful chantilly lace, scalloped on the bottom and around the neckline with a stunning long train. Important to note that it is VERY comfortable! I bought the dress at Marina Morrison in San Francisco in August 2016 and wore it at my wedding in Sonoma in 2017. I am 5'6 and typically wear a size 4/6. I wore 2.2 in heels with the dress. The dress is in perfect condition besides the hem at the bottom being slightly stained from my outdoor wedding (it rained before the ceremony). It has been professionally cleaned and they lifted the stain out as much as possible. A shorter bride could alter the dress and eliminate the stain. The stain is extremely faint and wouldn't be noticeable with the dress on/hanging on the ground - especially at an outdoor wedding. The last image shows the stain. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have!

Alterations

The dress was professionally altered to fit me. It was hemmed for length and tailored to fit my waist and chest. One side of the dress has very minimal boning under the boob. I also had the seamstress sew in a bra- I typically wear a 34C. The bra/boning can be taken out and tailored to fit you.
