I absolutely LOVED this dress!!! I have to admit that the way I felt in this dress was by far one of the best parts of my wedding day. The fabric and textures allow for an extremely feminine yet not overly sexy look. The fabric also hugs SO perfectly to any body type (Vera Wang still carries this dress, so definitely try it on in the store and you'll agree that Vera really knows how to make the perfect gown)!
Since this is a mermaid cut, I wore the ivory belt that came with dress for the ceremony, then switched it out for a more embellished, lively belt for the reception.
The tailor made minimal alterations focusing on the hips and waist area. I anticipated selling this dress once I bought it so she made sure to make the alterations so that a potential next owner would be able to take out what she took in and vice versa. My measurements are: 34" (bust) x 26.5" (waist) x 36" (hips). I am 5'7 and wore 3.5" heels.
I am happy to answer any questions regarding the dress.
Happy wedding dress shopping!
