The Dress

STELLA YORK 5922DM WEDDING DRESS
This is a perfect gown that embodies elegance and romance. I would love to pass this gown on to someone who will feel the same wearing it on their special day. Lace and embellished tulle come together to create a fabulously sexy fit-and-flare silhouette that is reminiscent of classic and glamorous wedding dresses. Featuring handcrafted Diamante beading, this lace wedding dress features a plunging back adorned with sparkling jewels. The glittering shoulder straps highlight the fit-and-flare silhouette, which hugs every curve of the bride’s frame. The luxe skirt flares just below the knee and is embellished with lace motifs and shimmering breading. This backless wedding dress closes with a zipper under crystal buttons.
The buttons are not functional and are for show only. The zipper still zips, but one half of the eye hook clasp is missing on one side (see photos). The lace shoulder straps are beautiful but I had to use fashion tape to get them to lay flat on my shoulders/back.
The dress photographs beautifully and is a real stunner from the V neck front to back.
Please feel free to ask any questions. If you would like to see more photos, I would be happy to email them to you. The dress was only worn for a couple of hours the day of the wedding, was professionally dry cleaned, and is currently being stored in a smoke free home.

In addition to purchasing an already altered dress (the bustle and minimal alterations set me back $400 alone), I am including my veil which is shown in the photos. The beading detail is similar to that of the dress and looks like it was made for this dress.

Alterations

This dress label is a size 6. I had the dress hemmed to fit my height with shoes. I am 5’6’ with 1.5 inch heels, but no additional amount taken from the bodice. The straps were shortened a little, bra cups were added, and a bustle was added with three loops that are hidden well and accent the style of the dress. I’ve included a photo of the dress bustled.
