The Dress

BHLDN Havana Corset by Catherine Deane and Bellamy Skirt by Elizabeth Fillmore

This was the perfect dress for me! It was unconventional and stylish, and the skirt has pockets! I found this after a few trial and errors with wedding dresses. I loved loved loved this dress and hope to find someone who will too!

For the skirt: Full pleats add volume to this luxurious silk dupioni skirt, and the high-low hem cascades into a subtle train—a favorite for showing off your shoes and easy dancing! I love the texture on the skirt- has a linen like texture/uneven elements to it, which made it even more unique and excellent for photos. Now sold out online and no longer available.

For the top: A scalloped neckline, allover guipure lace, and low back make a romantic statement in this unabashedly feminine separate. Still available on BHLDN for retail price of $450. https://www.bhldn.com/bride-bridal-separates-tops/havana-corset-top-ivory/productoptionids/a7468505-d6db-4ac6-b442-05c2dce5b309

The combination is a mix of feminine grace, comfortable to wear, and unique glamour... with pockets!

Alterations

Altered in the following ways: -Corset (started as a size 2): Added Bra cups. No alteration to the bodice of the corset was done (which means if it fits you at BHLDN, it should fit you here!) I left extra length in the cross back straps so you can alter it as needed if you are taller etc.

-Skirt (started as a size 8): Altered the waist to 28", length: Back: 39", Front 30"; pockets intact; With 2 inch heels, the front cuts off about 6 inches above my ankle, and the back is about 3-4 inches off the floor for easy movement!
