Zakaa Couture, Paulina

A couture gown without the couture price! Pictures truly do not do this gown justice - it is breathtaking in person. Though the dove grey is untraditional for a wedding, the gown itself deserves to be worn for the most special occasions, as it really is a standout. The dress itself is gorgeous, but paired with the additional (optional) beaded straps and the stunning cathedral veil, it's ethereal.

The gown has a shimmering champagne layer under the grey tulle, which catches the light beautifully. The floral appliqués are a pale blush color with beautiful beading, which was matched in the detachable customs spaghetti straps as well as in the custom cathedral length veil. The corset top has a zipper closure, which cinches in the waist to give this a beautiful A-line silhouette. The sweetheart neckline emphasizes the romantic design of the dress.

This was the floor model from Zakaa's flagship store located outside of Washington, DC. I am 5'10-5'11 and wore 3" heels, and the gown was a perfect length. It's plenty long enough to be hemmed. I didn't have any sizing alterations done, so this is a regular size 10. My busy size is around 34DD, but the dress should be able to accommodate sizes slightly larger or smaller. The corset top is very forgiving and flexible. Additionally, the beaded spaghetti straps have pop-on attachments, making it easy to take on or off.
