The Dress

Melissa Sweet Style # MS251209
Corset Bodice Tiered Chiffon A-Line Wedding Dress

New, never been worn other than trying on in store and at home (tags are removed but I do have receipts to show price paid). The dress is extremely comfortable and flattering. I fell in love with it, until I stumbled upon another one at an incredible price and bought it. I am selling it because I chose to wear the second one.

It is sheer in the mid-section. I did not realize this when I first bought it (tried it on with a corset bra in the store and did not notice until I held in in front of a window at home and was shocked to realize it), but if you wear a full corset bra it covers if you do not want to have your actual skin somewhat visible.

Alterations (receipt in pics):
I had wider straps added for more support (size DD/E) but do have the original straps that can easily be sewn back on if desired.

There is a small tear in the upper back left near the zipper that is hidden by the way the fold of the fabric is (which is why I did not see it initially when I bought it off the rack). I did pay to have this repaired so it nicely lays flat within a fold of the fabric and is essentially hidden unless you look for it (pic attached). It will never be noticed by anyone but you when you look, or maybe whoever zips it (looks like someone caught their finger in the sheer overlay zipping it trying on and it was too tight and tore a tiny bit.)

I had a blue ribbon tacked along the waistline but did not like it and removed it to sell so it would be just like what you can find in the store (purchased at David's Bridal off rack).

Summary:
The dress is simple yet has enough beading, lace, and sequins in the bodice to make it stunning and you will feel amazing in it. I am 6'1" and it hits perfectly on the ground for me with a 1" heel on. Train is just enough to be there, but not so much you will trip on it. I did not add a bustle to it, as we were planning an outdoor elopement just us, so no need to but this could easily be added if desired.

I am not looking to make money on this, or even what I paid, but to give someone the opportunity to have this beautiful dress at half of what I paid retail and enjoy their special day.

I am happy to provide more pictures if needed but you can check out the online listing yourself through the below link:

I paid a total of $1,018.69 for the alterations, bra, and dress. I want someone to love this dress like I did! I hope you love it as much as I love my new one!!! Thank you for looking!

Alterations

The original straps as shown in the online pictures dug into my shoulders and did not offer any support for the top to hold your chest "up," even with a supportive bra (42 DD). I had wider straps added that enhance the beads and really bring out the back, as well as give the option to wear a bra with a strap if desired for added support. I also had a hook added at the top (1/2 was missing when I bought it above the zipper, added a ribbon to bring some blue into it. The ribbon has since been removed (by me). I had a dart added under both arms to tighten it a bit as it had a small gap (1 finger size maybe). I also added "stays" inside around the top to help the bra from slipping above the dress (they slide over the bra between the dress to push the bra down if it rides up so you are not showing off your bra vs your dress). I am including the bra that I bought to go with this dress as well. I paid $70+ for it but am just tossing it in since the alterations to hold the bra in were for "this" bra. I only wore the bra to try the dress on a few times in the store and at my home. It is new, but no tags. I bought it at the store I purchased the dress at as well.
