I bought this beautiful dress at a bridal boutique in Coral Gables, FL last January and wore it last June for my dream wedding?. I absolutely loved everything about this dress from the moment I saw it. It was exactly everything that I had been looking for and more. I loved this dress even more when I tried it on, it is very flattering and felt very comfortable. I wore this dress for my church ceremony and my reception. This dress is extremely light (a relief after trying on so many heavy wedding dresses). I was very comfortable to wear it all day and I was able to dance with ease during our reception. I had to make a few alterations to dress. The main one was the length which was altered to be 5’ 5’’. I also had to have the bust taken in about one inch and added some extra padding for extra support which could easily be removed if needed. A 5 point bustle was also added which makes front and back of dress match in appearance. I paid $1500 for my dress plus $350 in alterations ( I have the original receipt). Please let me know if you have any questions or would like more pictures. Thank you!
