The Dress

Corset bodice with criss-cross pleated cream-colored satin. This design cinches your waist, creating a beautiful hourglass figure. Includes several feet of extra lacing for the corseting so you'll achieve the perfect fit without alterations. I didn't have to do the dreaded "strapless hike" all night while dancing, as the corseting keeps the bodice in place and eliminates any revealing wardrobe malfunctions.

Organza overlay is gathered under the satin bodice extending through the skirt and layered with tulle, crinoline, and a satin lining (so there's nothing scratchy next to your skin). A 36-inch train has already been fitted with hidden buttons and loops so the train can be bustled after family pictures for dancing at the reception.

The dress comes with a matching Maggie Sottero cream-colored satin bolero jacket, size small (retail cost $200). My mother had nightmares about my back tattoo jumping out and eating her, so this was our compromise. It was perfect for my outdoor fall ceremony after the sun set and it got a little chilly.

No dirt, oil, food, or makeup staining on any part of the dress. No pet, food, or smoke odors. No water or pest damage.

Minor imperfections in the organza weave which is hardly noticeable unless you're squinting. A small 1x1 inch tear is located 1 inch from the bottom hemline (my aunt accidentally stepped on my dress). Will be removed if the dress length needs to be altered at all.

The dress was dry-cleaned twice immediately after the wedding and sealed in a waterproof garment bag until I took it out for this listing. Organza only needs a light steaming to relax any wrinkles created while stored in its garment bag.

This timeless dress is awaiting its next happy bride! Feel free to message me with any questions.

Alterations

Bust inserts have been sewn into the bodice for some extra oomph (can be easily removed/replaced to accommodate the figure of the next lovely owner).
