- DRESS DETAILS
-
Beautiful dupioni silk fitted gown. The dress is strapless with a one shoulder added that can be taken off. It is a trumpet style fit with chapel length train. Dupioni silk is so classic and timeless looking and has a very expensive feel and look. Yet, it is thin so the dress was extremely comformtable to wear and not hot. I tried on at least 60 dresses and this was one of the last I tried on and loved the simpleness of it! It is simple, classic, timeless, yet modern!! I still look at it now a year after my wedding and love it and know I will still love the way I looked in my pictures 50 years from now. However, I hate to see it just sit in my closet when someone else could wear it and save some money from it. I photograph a lot of weddings, so I have seen a lot of wedding dresses and I wanted something different. I custom added the silk flowers from the bridal boutique and had them alter it to fit on a strap. This way I could wear the one shoulder strap if I wanted for the WOW factor, but take it off at the reception if I wanted to. I ended up not taking it off because it just looked so good, and I could still move my arms around and dance very will with it on. So the dress is strapless, but have the option to wear the one shoulder flowers!
- DRESS ALTERATIONS
- A french bustle was added so it would fall elegantly at the reception without me having to hold it. I paid extra for the french bustle than a regular bustle, but it looked so much better with this dress. I can send a photo of the dress on with dress bustled. The one shoulder is an addition to the dress and snaps in the back and front with a hook eye to secure it. I tried to look for a cheaper flower to put on the dress, but couldn't find one as real looking and one that was soft and wispy as this one that the boutique had. Just the flowers were $400 without the cost of the alteration of the strap. The hem was taken up 1" so that I could wear flats with the dress and not wear heels (I didn't want to be taller than the groom who is the exact same height with flats). I'm 5'9". A little was taken in at the bust. Nothing else had to be altered. I wear between a size 2 and 4 in pants and dresses normally and a small in shirts.
- VEIL / HEADPIECE DESCRIPTION
- I wore a cathedral length ivory veil with no beading or piping...Very simple and elegant. For the reception I wore a netting piece with feathers headpiece. Either or both can be purchased. Please let me know if you would be interested. I have close up photos of veil and headpiece and lots more of the dress.
- PRESERVATION METHOD
- The dress was cleaned exactly 1 week after the wedding! The dress has been in a home that has no smokers, pets or children.
