The Dress

The 'Sandrina' dress by Sottero and Midgley Couture is especially unique at this time as it has been discontinued. It's embroidered with lace and tulle and has a slim A-line skirt. Spaghetti straps, plunging back, and edged with lace apliqués. V-neckline and covered buttons over zipper closure.

The dress hugs curves yet still has a gorgeous, flowy feel at the bottom. I felt very beautiful in this dress and loved the unique and intricate features of the lace and different layers. The long train gives such an elegant feel and makes photos quite beautiful. All in all I feel like the dress has a great combination of being modern yet vintage. I really loved wearing it on my wedding day and hope that it can help another bride to feel stunning on her day too.

The dress has not been dry-cleaned, (which is why it's listed at the price it is.) A cleaning could help with some discolouration around the back and sides near the bust line. I wouldn't say these are extremely noticeable, but if you were to look very closely I think you would be able to see it. There are some very small dirt stains on the inner most lining of the dress near the bottom, but would not be noticeable when wearing the dress. My guess is a good cleaning would take care of most of these flaws.

Alterations

I'm petite so the dress has been altered quite a bit so it's perfect for a smaller build. It has been hemmed, brought in at the bust, waist, and hips. The person working on the alterations left some of the inner lining of the hems undone but this is not noticeable from the outside of the dress.
