The Dress

This was the dress of my dreams for my wedding and now it can be yours. The dress is a bridal size 4 with minimal alterations as described below. I'm 5 feet, 11 inches and wore flat shoes. My measurements to order the dress were 33 inch bust, 24.5 inch waist, and 38 inch hips. There are 6 layers of skirts, 3 of them tie in a French bustle to the undermost skirt, while the top 2 layers hook under the waistband. When bustled, the back of the skirts still touch the floor, but not so much that you can't dance. The inner skirt is a soft cotton-like fabric, the next is satin, then a stiff netting topped by a softer netting, then a soft netting with polka dots, and the outer skirt is sheer with a plaid pattern of iridescent sequins and tiny beads with a wide strip of horsehair stiffening in the hem. The 3 netting skirts can be shortened by simply cutting them with no hemming required. The sides of the bodice have sheer netting that looks invisible. In addition to the built-in bra cups, the shop seamstress recommended a stick-on, wireless bra (NuBra) as the secret to perfect cleavage and modesty in this dress. The dress label says "Do not dry-clean, spot clean only" so it was professionally cleaned but not with dry-cleaning chemicals. Written instructions for the bustle and a zippered garment bag are included.

This dress is by designer Calla Blanche from the Fall 2016 collection, style number 12650.

I felt like a princess in this dress. It's a modern pattern with a classic shape and so sparkly. My groom and the wedding guests loved it. I was able to dance comfortably. It looks great in the photographs and video. I hope the magic in this dress will make your wedding as much fun as mine!

What more can I tell you? Please ask me....... or message me for more photos or to make a best price offer!


Professionally altered by the seamstresses at Mon Ami Bridal Salon in Costa Mesa, California, where I bought the dress. They shortened the hems 1/2 inch, took in the waist 1/2 inch, and added ties, loops, and hooks to bustle the skirts.
