The Dress

Madison James, MJ05. This dress was custom-ordered in Satin from a Seattle bridal boutique, and with the upgraded fabric quality, it feels like a dream! With a ballgown fit and simple lines, its only ornamentation is a simple bow. The color is a very soft ivory, and the hint of color gives better contrast to skin than a typical white. On the back, the dress features small buttons running down the full length of the dress (see photos 1 & 4). Additionally, two cleverly hidden pockets at the hip provide much-needed storage for tissues and bobby-pins on your big day. The interior of the dress features a hidden bodice with built-in boning and pads, and stays secure throughout the day, allowing no need for a typical strapless bra.

As a bride, the luxurious fabric, sexy backline, and cinderella-style ball gown is what drew me to this dress. It's classic nature felt timeless and the fit was both comfortable and flattering. The train looked amazing both outdoors and indoors, and allowed me to wear it with a dramatic veil for the ceremony (photo 6),

How I wore it: I am 5 foot 9.5 inches tall and did not need to have the dress hemmed. The dress was worn with low shoes and a hoop slip underneath (worn in photos 6-8). The slip kept the hemline lifted ever so slightly, and prevented me from getting too warm from the layers of tulle.

Size notes: Initially, the dress had a generous amount of room in the bust, and some room in the sides that I had taken in. My personal measurements are 30.5 inch bust, 25 inch waist, and 36.5 inch hips. This dress was altered to include two sets of cups (I’m only a 32B), so you could easily have those removed if you have a larger bust. The most important measurement with this dress is the waist - it has been brought in by 1-2 inches from the original, but I would recommend it for someone with a 24-26 inch waist.

The train has been altered with tiny loops to easily bustle (shown in photos 7-8).

The dress has been professionally cleaned, and is in very good condition. Since we took photos outdoors, there is minor wear along the hemline, but nothing obvious, nor would it be an issue if you ended up hemming the dress.

Available immediately to ship anywhere in the USA or Australia. (I've done extensive research, and shipping to Australia is feasible, just requires a little more time to arrive.)

Also, if you're curious, the retail price listed was the price I paid for the dress, and does not include the alterations I paid (an added bonus).
