The Dress

This beautiful Justin Alexander dress was worn on one of the best days of my life. It originally came with spaghetti straps but I wanted a little more coverage and support so had these beautiful butterfly straps added on, with additional matching beads and lace for a seamless look. The original plain straps would still come with the dress if you would prefer them. I wore this dress with a two banded hoop for my wedding for the ultimate princess look, but here it is pictured without a hoop and it’s still absolutely gorgeous. The back has a hidden zip with mock buttons on top for a traditional look & the sweetheart neckline is just so flattering for both a smaller and larger chest as pictured (as seen with two different shaped models). The train is a perfect length for a traditional look but it never felt overwhelmingly long & I had an elastic band added to the bottom so I could hook up the back to my wrist for our first dance. Now this dress has been worn and has some loose beads, so you may wish to have then sewn back on more firmly. There is also a rough edge to one of the (many!) nets underneath from wear on hard floors and outside, but this cannot be seen when worn and is barely noticeable when off and you’re looking for them! The lace and beading detail further down the dress serves to elongate your body and is so flattering for a curvy body. I loved wearing this dress and hope that the next wearer enjoys and loves it as much as I did on my big day.
