The Dress

I felt incredible in my wedding dress, especially after having it taken out a bit to move easier (for sitting and dancing). The ruching on the butt area is extremely flattering and thick, so it hides every flaw. In the pictures you can see I wore a bolero (long lace sleeves) for part of the day. I also wore a white faux fur wrap. It was magical for a winter mountain wedding. The color I chose was blush/ tan with white lace. This color contrast made the detailed lace pop even more. I felt sexy but also very modest with the veil and bolero on for the ceremony. The crystal sewn on "belt" cinched in the waist and made the shape very flattering. And the sweetheart neckline is flattering on just about anyone. I usually wear a B or C cup. I put in cutlets to add a lift to my breast as there was a little room. The back is covered in lace with structured bodice which is close to my skin tone, blush, which was just enough sexy but also could be covered with hair if you're concerned about modesty. This dress looked twice the price next to other dresses in its price range. The last picture shows the the bustling. Although there is a rip in one of the underneath tulle layers, it is not noticeable and can easily be sewn. I will have it dry cleaned if requested. It is definitely hard to part with, but I know it will give another bride an opportunity to feel absolutely gorgeous!

Alterations

It was hemmed at the bottom. I am 5'5 and a half, plus I wore 5 inch heels. I wore flat sandals during my reception and wore it bustled. It was perfect for fast dancing and twirling.
