The Dress

This is a gorgeous, elegant, and fun bohemian gown from BHLDN! It was perfect for my outdoor, spring wedding in Lake Tahoe. The silhouette is a flattering fit and flare shape. It features a beautiful ivory lace bodice with an almond lining, a sexy lace low back, a V neck, and romantic capped sleeves. The back has beautiful satin buttons that cover the zipper. The dress made me feel beautiful and romantic, but also free spirited and fun. It was perfect for dancing the night away with the train bustled and off the floor. The dress was flattering yet not overly revealing, and I felt comfortable all throughout the ceremony, family photos, toasts, dinner, and lots of dancing. I wore the dress for the whole event (4pm-10pm) and was still very comfortable at the end of the night. It was brand new before the wedding and it was professionally dry cleaned immediately after the event. I loved this dress and I hope the next bride will too!

Alterations

The dress was professionally hemmed and taken in slightly at the hips, waist, and bust. I was in between a size 4 and size 6. I opted for the size 6 and then had it taken in.

A simple 1 button American bustle was added with a very strong, reinforced button to hold up the train for dancing.
