The Dress

This was an absolutely gorgeous dress, super fun to wear for my wedding. The cut and style are timeless, if you're going for a princess feel. It has many layers of tulle in the skirt, with a sequin-y shimmery layer underneath the lace applique top layer. The train is lace with no satin underlayer, so the part that covers the floor shows the beautiful floral pattern in the lace. The dress needs to be cleaned -- the bottom is dirty but still in good shape after a night of dancing. I'll throw in the veil as well -- it's fingertip length with crystals all along the bottom, which went beautifully with the dress.

Alterations

Bust was enhanced with thin fabric pads (I'm a 32C); waist was taken in; I had an overbustle added with 5 or 6 buttons to keep the train up during the reception. I removed the belt that came with the dress and added my own, a peach satin ribbon with the lace applique from the dress's original belt (not attached to dress but can send with dress!). I moved the spaghetti straps a bit inward at the back of the dress, so they never fell down all night.
