The Dress

Looking for the perfect dress for a fairytale wedding?! Look no more :)

This is Maggie Sottero's Orlanda ballgown in Ivory over Stone (gown with Nude Illusion). It was an absolute DREAM. I cannot count how many compliments I received on my dress.

This dress has a lovely train perfect for a dramatic ceremony entrance.

There are several layers of tulle which makes it so dreamy but steaming would definitely be necessary (and it's not difficult to do with a garment steamer).

I purchased the detachable off-the-shoulder beaded lace cap-sleeves separately (originally $250) - and they have buttons that attach to the dress. They're easily detachable for more mobility during your reception.

My wedding was indoors and we did take pictures outside but there was no dirt since it was winter. There were some minor tears on the tulle on the back of the dress but I was able to get it fixed.

I'm normally a size 4 or 6 / small. I wear 34A cup. The hips don't matter as much because it's a ballgown.

Alterations

This dress has been altered down from a size 14 to fit a size 6, but you can't tell at all!. I wear 34A cup - there are detachable cup pads if you're a bigger size. I am normally 5"7 and I wore 4.5" heels. There is A traditional bustle has also been added with 3 buttons. Alterations itself were $1200!
