- DRESS DETAILS
-
This fitted, beaded gown is actually two pieces, though you'd never know from looking at it. The two-piece nature makes it very easy to alter for a perfect fit on top and bottom. I also learned when i was shopping that having two pieces keeps the dress from slipping down because the main weight of the gown sits on your hips instead of pulling on your bust. The skirt is mermaid/trumpet with a moderate amount of crinoline and an average length train. It has this gorgeous pleating detail in the back that makes your butt look fantastic! It is silk organza of exceptional quality. It bustles really beautifully and is very easy to walk around in. I included a picture of it bustled so you can see. The corset top has delicate antique style beading with a french/vintage look. This dress is in perfect condition. It bustled so nicely that no one stepped on it all night. It looks exactly like it did when I took it out of the store. One other thing to note about this dress is how easy it is to get into. It has simple zipper closures for the skirt and bodice. I was able to put it on myself with no help. With the beading and skirt pleating it is a total couture look but very easy to wear.
- DRESS ALTERATIONS
- I ordered this dress with a D cup and had minor standard nips and tucks done to the bodice to make it fit me snugly. The beading is hand done from Monique L'huillier on a thin layer of netting/lace overlay so that it can be lifted away from the corset for alterations and then tacked back into place. This is a clever method on the part of the designer to allow you to get the perfect fit without having to pay to have the beading altered. I also had the skirt shortened to accommodate 5'11" height in my shoes. I had "stays" attached on the inside of the corset so that they could hook over my bra to prevent slipping. There were small little loops and hooks added so that we could bustle it. I can write out directions for you for how to do it. It's pretty easy. If you need more pictures of me in the actual dress, rather than the model, I can send them to you.
