- DRESS DETAILS
-
This is an exquisite Demetrios Couture Collection dress. It is 100% silk tafetta, which not only feels better than manmade fabrics, it photographs beautifully. It is unlike any other wedding dress I have seen with its bustle drape skirt. It has a cathedral-length train that can be bustled after the ceremony. There is beautiful real crystal beading on the front bodice. The dropped waist is rouched; this makes it very figure flattering. The color is officially white according to the Demetrios description, but I think it is looks more like a pearly off-white to ivory. It was originally strapless, but I had off-the-shoulder sleeves added. I didn't want to have a strapless dress because it seems as if everyone has that these days and I wanted something a little different. However, if you prefer that style, the sleeves can be easily snipped out. Dress has built-in net underskirt as seen in one of the pictures with the skirt lifted. Dress was purchased in 2009 for wedding in October. Worn only once during that joyful occasion. I wasn't sure what I would do with it until I found this site. I am so happy for the chance to recycle my dress (go green!) and I love the idea that someone else may have also have a very special day in it.
- DRESS ALTERATIONS
- All my alterations were done by the seamstress at Demetrios shop in Buckhead, Atlanta. I had the gown hemmed to fit me. I am 5'5 and wore two inch heels. I also had it taken in at the waist. Demetrios ordered matching silk and custom made the sleeves specifically designed so that they can be worn to cover the top part of the shoulders or be completely off the shoulders. I wore them on the shoulders in the church and off at the reception. The pleating in the sleeves is designed to match the front bustling on the dress.It was very well done. No one would ever guess this was not part of the original dress style. I also had a French tie-up bustle put in so the train will be out of the way for the reception. The bustling is on the inside of the dress.
- VEIL / HEADPIECE DESCRIPTION
- The cathedral length veil was priced at $285. Unfortunately it has a tiny rip at the bottom in the back. I am not into sewing so I don't know if this is mendable. It is not noticeable unless you are looking for it, but it is there. I will send the veil with the dress if you want it.
