Maggie Sottero, Mallory Dawn

This Mallory Dawn wedding dress by Maggie Sottero has been an absolute dream for me, and I’m excited to pass it on to another beautiful bride! I only wore this dress on my wedding day and only for the ceremony, so it is truly waiting for someone else to celebrate in it. The moment I slipped it on, the dress fit me like a glove, so it had no alterations, not even shortening of the train, so it can be altered to fit you perfectly! All I had done was inserted fabric bra cups.

The beading is very intricate and the embroidery is delicate, as you can see from the pictures. The pattern of the beading, the use of the long sleeves, as well as the sheer back with the rounded buttons gives this dress an elegant vintage feel, but the simplicity of the bottom keeps it modern but keeps the drama with how large the train is. There is a sheer, slightly tan mesh under the beading and embroidery that is pictured and that is across the back. The buttons up the back are mirrored with buttons up the side of the sleeves, which is also pictured. The pictures also make the crystal-beaded "belt" separating the beading and embroidery from the skirt a bit hard to see, so that is also pictured separately.

I loved this dress so much: it fit our vintage ballroom aesthetic perfectly, and I found the dress very comfortable. The train was a bit heavy, but I thought I would get hot with all the layers, but I surprisingly didn't! This dress truly made my day special, and I hope it can continue its life making your day memorable as well!
