The Dress

Hi! I bought my gorgeous Maya dress in 2021. I had it custom made with extra lining from the hip down to make it a little more conservative(the Maya is usually sheer on the side all the way down). This was done by Galia Lahav designers (not my seamstress) so the color is an exact match and it looks really good. A seamstress would be able to remove it though if you want the standard look. I’ve included a photo of the side of my dress for reference. The only alterations my seamstress made was a little padding in the bust (can be removed) and a bustle. I’m tall so we didn’t hem it. I fit a standard dress size 6 and it fit perfectly. The straps can be worn both down and up depending on how you like it (I did down for the ceremony and up for dancing!) I had the dress professionally cleaned and it honestly looks as good as the day it arrived for me from Galia. I got so many compliments in this dress and had such an amazing night!! I hope someone else will be able to enjoy it as much as I did :)
