The Dress

Badgley Mischka's Brooke dress: https://www.badgleymischka.com/brooke-2/

A great dress for someone that may have less curves but wants that ball gown effect. This dress doesn't have too much fabric in the bodice so it won't hide or swallow a petite frame and has a nice transition from the waist to the volume of the gown so it gives a classy hour glass silhouette. Maybe best of all it sparkles, it really sparkles.

From the designer:
"Romantic and chic, this full A-line gown features a soft organza skirt and the most mesmerizing 3D beaded embroidered lace on an unlined, illusion bodice with a sultry low V-neckline. Complete with a low V-back and covered buttons."

(Note: Dress was worn once at a wedding that took place on a vineyard. It has been dry-cleaned)

Alterations

• Added sleeves with lace and a small amount of dress beading (can be taken off to be the original sleeveless)
• Shorted for for 5' 5 1/2" with 3" heels (can be taken down)
• Waist taken in for 25" waist (can be taken out)
• A tear from the under part of the train has been repaired (a twig got it while walking)
• Over-bustle that tapper down on the sides
