The Dress

I wore this dress for my September wedding, and let me tell you, I have very high standards and this dress somehow met them all. I wanted something comfortable, glamorous, with high and unique natural style that showcased me, not the other way around. You literally just slip it on, no need for fancy stick on bras as the cups are build in and the liner is this perfect silk that feels really good. I wore it with super funky Swarovski jewelry and nude heels, and my hair mostly down. After walking down the aisle, the long train bustles up into a very cool, slim design which you don't get if you have a shorter train. See the last photo for the bustle - super functional and really cool (makes your butt look amazing!).

About me: I have a curvy, athletic, petite build. I'm 5'4 and wore 3" heels and it was a bit long on me by an inch or two. Second and third photos are of me. Other two are of the model. My measurements are XS (with a S waist) according to the Grace Loves Lace website.

I wore it with a soft, long, cathedral length sheer veil which is worth about $400. Willing to include it if you want it as it was absolutely perfect with the dress.

I had it altered so that the centre front split is just above the knees instead of around the knees which allowed for beautiful movement in the dress and easier to walk around (approx. $200). Dry cleaned as per instructions, came out perfect. Willing to ship anywhere, in the beautiful white box it came in.
