The Dress

This is a show stopper dress that is truly unique and perfect for a petite athletic build (with curves) - and for a formal, classic yet modern wedding. I received more compliments on my dress than anything else, and was told on several occasions it was the most beautiful dress anyone had ever seen. It was comfortable also. I felt like a princess!

Description from the designer: Alluring yet sophisticated, this Shavon Organza wedding dress features a bateau neckline, with beaded lace motifs and Swarovski crystals accenting the illusion cap-sleeves and illusion open back. Unique three-dimensional organza ruffles trim the tulle fit-and-flare skirt. Finished with crystal buttons and covered buttons over zipper closure.

The dress was worn for only a few hours (for ceremony only). Perfect condition but I went ahead and had it dry cleaned and professionally boxed and shaped.

Alterations

Minor Adjustments (it fit almost perfectly!). Hem & bustle, minor adjustments to bust and at shoulder. Trimmed the capped sleeves a bit to make it look even more modern (compare to designer pics). I normally wear a 2, but based on my measurements I got a size 4, and with minor tailoring it was perfect.
