The Dress:
https://www.watters.com/willowby/products/galatea
The dress is TITANIUM - which means it has grey/titanium accents such as the ribbons and the underlayer- the rest of the dress is IVORY lace and tulle all over it - I chose this because in pictures it looks all white but you can actually see all the beautiful ivory lace due to the contrast - which would be lost on an all white dress. I paid $1630 for the dress with shipping included.
Sizing and alterations:
I am 5’3” and I wore 4” heels, and the dress still touched the ground. It means it could fit comfortably someone up to 5’ 7.5” tall if they wore sandals. For the dancing I wore 5” platform sandals to ensure the bottom of the dress did not touch the ground and it would stay clean - which it did!
I wear a street size 8 (sometimes 6) in dresses, wedding dress sizes don’t translate - the dress is a size 12 and it was taken in on the sides- the nice thing about this dress it that it is easy to alter. I am a bust size 32B - 34B.
Shoes:
I bought from Macy’s size 7 Nine West Dempsey Platform Shoes https://mcys.co/2JQcieK they are 4” heels on a 1” block platform and worked beautifully with the whimsical nature of the dress. I bought them for $89 - happy to sell for $25 if you want them with the dress.
Modesty Screen:
I added also a ‘modesty screen’ between the bust - it’s nude mesh so you can barely see it but it keeps the ladies together and made me feel more comfortable - can be easily removed. This cost me $65.
Cups:
The dress comes with built in cups - my alterations lady added additional cups over the existing ones which can also easily be removed (I am a B cup)
Bustle:
A French Bustle was added - this cost $150 and was done at Evermore Wedding Gown Care.
Veil:
MATCHING VEIL - I purchased extra lace with my dress, and ivory floor length veil, and Evermore made me a custom matching veil for the dress.
$245 is what it cost me for extra lace appliqué + veil material + shipping and labor to have the custom matching floor length veil made.
Jewelry: I bought from Macy’s happy to sell it as well.
