The Dress

NOTE: Willing to negotiate on price if you are concerned you will need to pay to alter the gown. Just let me know!

The dress is gorgeous, but sadly, I never got to wear it! This was a 2020 COVID wedding dress and, alas, it was never worn. I absolutely loved the lines of the dress, felt gorgeous in it, and like so many Maggie Sottero dresses was confident it would photograph beautifully.

The beading on the dress is beautiful, no chafing in the arms as you might expect from the beads and it is also a very light dress to wear. You can move easily and dancing will be a breeze. The dress feels sturdy and I never felt like I was at risk of falling out.

There is plenty of room to take in on the bust and/or the hips, and some space to take out in the waist if you need it. if you are shorter than 6 feet, this will have to be taken up or you will need to wear heals.

Salon photos are from 2020 and home photos are from December 2023. I couldn't bear to part with it, thinking I'd wear it one day, but it deserves a good home! I was just a bit larger in 2020 (maybe 1/2 an inch everywhere), so the measurements included are today's measurements.

Alterations

Train has been shortened and hips let out 1/2 an inch on each side from original dress measurements. We also added cups. Dress is marked as used, because I altered it and transported it a few times, but it has never been worn. There might be a few beads missing from transport, but there are thousands of beads/crystals on the dress, so nothing noticeable.
