The Dress

If you're like me, you know how hard it is to find a cute wedding dress with sleeves that doesn't look matronly, in a world where everything is strapless! I loved everything about the look and feel of this modern vintage dress. This gorgeous dress is part of the Casablanca Magnolia Charm collection, currently being sold in bridal salons. I always pictured myself getting a-line or ballgown until I tried on this fit & flare. I also never dreamed I'd go backless. Wow did it show off my figure, and my husband loved it! The dress is actually two layers of lace which gives it a lovely delicate layered effect. I loved the feminine sweetheart neckline with cap sleeves, the beaded lace, and the eyelash fringe along the entire front and back neckline. The scalloped hem is a very unique detail and the illusion buttons (actually a zipper) up the back give a nod to tradition. So many details! I am also kicking myself for not getting a picture of the gorgeous train on my wedding day. Learn from my mistake! :)

When I found this dress in the Casablanca store, my best friend said she saw fireworks. As much as it pains me to part with it, I hope this amazing dress does the same for you!

If you're in southern California, I'm happy to meet with you so you can try it on before buying.

Waist taken in, and cups added to the bust. Sleeves shortened to prevent them from slipping down. Pick-up ballroom bustle added.
