This is the most beautiful dress in the world and I am sad to part with it! This is a great way to get a designer dress for a fraction of the price.
It is swiss dotted and is a combination a-line/mermaid shape. The dotted organza is white, and the material...
underneath is ivory. It is so unbelievably flattering. I loved it because it was both classic and something "different" (because of the swiss dots). I cannot tell you how many people came up to me, even random people I saw on the street, to ask where I bought my dress and how they've never seen a dress they loved so much. Throughout the wedding planning, I second (and third, and fourth, and fifth) guessed basically every decision I made except for buying this dress - it was the best decision I ever made!!! The dress is a size 12 (street size 10). I had some extra fabric added to the bust to make it more modest, and it was bustled. I also had it taken out a 1/2 inch on the bust and waist at the last minute (correct measurements are listed below). I had it hemmed to fit my height (five foot five with three inch heels). The only thing that you should know is that I took my bustle out a little too early and snagged the hem in a few places (very minor).. you can't even tell in pictures. As with any used dress, there is some very light soiling/dust on the bottom of the dress as I danced in it all night and it touched the floor. You will need to have the dress professionally cleaned (you'd need to do this anyway with any dress) and that should take care of the soiling; the snags are a very, very minor and inexpensive fix that can be done by a seamstress. Veil Description: I have two veils. One was cathedral (wore this for the ceremony and pictures) and one was fingertip (wore this for the reception). They are both white and matched perfectly. They were gorgeous and also quite flattering (helped to hide arms that I was not 100% happy with!).Read More » - CLEANING/PRESERVATION METHOD:
