The Dress

This is the Lotus gown from the White Orchid, Esien Stein collection. It is handmade, and the silk fabric is divine. It has a pearlescent shimmer in certain lighting and the hand sewn pearls and gems on the flowers are so gorgeous in person. The corset provides the best boob support (I did wear a pushup bra) and creates an elegant sinched waistline. I had no issues pulling up my dress, even when dancing. The detachable sleeves are so magical and romantic, perfect for the first dance. I had them make a French bustle which fitted the dress much better and still looked pretty on the dance floor. I had the dress on for a total of 6 hours, and changed into my reception dress. No flaws on the dress, I had it professionally cleaned.

This was my absolute dream dress, I wish I could wear it again. I have a ton more videos and pictures if you need to contact me. I am so excited for the next person to wear this on their big day because I truly felt like a princess.

Alterations

I took in the waist to my measurements, added a French bustle & I had to shorten the length at the front. Keep in mind I did wear really tall heels (4inch platforms).
