The Dress

This dress was ordered in the summer of 2023 and only worn for two hours at my wedding for dessert, to cut my cake and for my first dance, and it was then taken off for the main dancing part of the evening. It's in great condition and has since been dry-cleaned so it's ready to wear - the top looks brand new with only very minor wear at the bottom of the dress. I'm happy to send further pictures of the dress upon request, if helpful.

This dress fit me like a glove, was flattering in the right places and made me feel sexy for the evening portion of my wedding. There are built-in soft cups so you don't need to wear a bra in theory, however, I slipped in removable push-up cups to give me more lift.

Alterations

I originally ordered a size EUR 34 which is equivalent to a US 0.

I slightly shortened the front of the dress to fit my height when wearing my heels, but I made sure not to disrupt the integrity of the mini train at the back.

I also slightly removed some loose material on the sides of the corset area along the seam to prevent the dress from puckering.
