The Dress

This is my gorgeous wedding gown by Galia Lahav, the GALA 902. (For the professional model and photo shoot photos and video, please see this link: http://gala.galialahav.com/collection-no-4/gala-902/ ) I purchased it from Kinsley James Couture Bridal in Walnut Creek, California, and had it altered by Tailor Maid San Francisco (description of alterations below). I wore it once at my wedding in Italy in June of 2018, and immediately had it professionally cleaned by Elegance Preserved, one of the premier wedding dress cleaning and preservation companies in the country. (I have a receipt and am willing to share it if necessary. The cost of cleaning was approximately $450.) It is in excellent condition.

The dress is an off the shoulder white lace gown with a tulle and organza skirt and very long train. The top has a white lace bodice with boning and the neckline has very sheer mesh that is invisible in photos. The back is also mostly mesh with some lace flower appliques and corset-style lacing with a silk ribbon. Because of the lacing, the siz is pretty flexible and can definitely be loosened or tightened as necessary. The lace flower appliques come down the skirt and there are also a few skattered on the skirt going downwards. The skirt has 3 or 4 layers of tulle and the innermost layer is silk organza. There is also a nude colored slip in the skirt that I'm sure is removable, but without it (as you can see in the professional marketing photos linked above), the skirt is very sheer. While the train is long (see the photos), it is all very light weight and easy to move in because of the tulle. I ran around for hours all day in it and it never felt heavy!

The size is not on the tag but I believe the size I purchased was a 38. Street-size wise, I am usually a 0 or a 2 (brands like Theory, Banana Republic). However, given the lacing in the bodice and the relaxed tulle skirt, I am sure this dress would comfortably fit a size 4, maybe even a 6 as well. It is all fairly stretchy and has a lot of give. I am however fairly flat chested (32A) and while there is some room in the bust, it would likely not fit somebody with a much bigger chest. I am 5'1 and wore 4" heels and the gown fully touched the ground. I think it could work on somebody up to 5'5 or maybe 5'6 if you didn't mind it coming just above the ground. Please note that in the innermost layer of the skirt (the silk organza), at the back, there is a very small tear that has been professionally repaired and is completely invisible both in pictures and in person because it's under the layers of tulle and due to the long train.

My measurements are as follows:
Chest (across the widest part): 33 inches / 83.8 cm
Chest (directly under): 28 inches / 71 cm
Waist: 25.5 inches / 64.8 cm
Hips: 36.5 inches / 92.7 cm
But, like I said, the dress is pretty forgiving in terms of size because you can lace the corset tighter or looser.

I have plenty of photos so please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. For me, it was a dream dress. We took pre-wedding photos in a small town in Italy and we were constantly stopped by Italian villagers and strangers taking photos of us. A few people even stopped me to tell me that they had never seen a gown like this-- it's really breathtaking in person. And shockingly comfortable and easy to move in! The designer, Galia Lahav, recently designed a gown for Beyonce when she renewed her vows, and has designed gowns for many celebrities. I absolutely love this gown.

Alterations

I altered the overall length of the gown-- I'm 5'1 and wore 4" heels and had the front of the gown sweeping the floor. I also altered the bust to let out some of the fabric as I am a smaller chested girl.
