CLASSIC A-LINE WEDDING DRESS WITH SCOOP NECKLINE AND POCKETS
Please feel free to make our best offer.
This dress instantly makes you feel like a beautiful, classic bride. PLUS IT HAS POCKETS! Honestly I'm so sad to let this dress go but it isn't practical to keep.
I didn't know I actually wanted to wear a wedding dress, nor that I wanted to feel like a princess until I put this dress on. Hoping that someone will love this dress as much as I have.
Some notes:
Hip measurements wont matter because of how this falls.
I traveled with the dress on a plane and it amazingly didn't need to be steamed after the flight.
The slit causes a slight crease as you can see in the third photo.
It's impossible not to have a beautiful silhouette with this bodice. Plus the V cut out keeps you cool and just is SO flattering to the figure.
I'm 5'2" but wore 3" heels. The dress was a touch longer than I originally wanted but that gives you more flexibility.
With taxes and alterations, I spent over $3000 on this dress. I spent an additional $364.00 on professional cleaning by Elegance Preserved.
Fabrics:
Matte Mikado material - shimmery in the right light

Alterations
Dress was shortened - It is a little longer in the back so still could be hemmed to a full hem if you prefer.
Bust cups were put in (easily removable)
Buttons that were originally fully down the back were removed below the waist seam
Alterations cost about an additional $1000
