Dress Description:

GORGEOUS! GORGEOUS! GORGEOUS! Words cannot describe how beautiful this dress is! In person it is mesmerizing!! I searched for months without any luck, and FINALLY found the dress of my dreams. The material is super soft silk satin duchess. The top is completely form fitting with beautiful crystals that make it so elegant and breathtaking!

My favorite part of the dress is the bunching on the bottom half. It has a French bustle making it look just as gorgeous tied up as it does with the train pulled out (that cost an additional $400). I received so many compliments on this dress. The staff at the wedding reception told my bridesmaids that it was the most beautiful dress they had ever seen at one of their weddings. I was reluctant in the beginning to spend as much money as I did on this dress, but, after the wedding I realized it was worth every penny! When you put it on, it just feels so rich. I tried on so many dresses prior to this one and couldn't believe how expensive these 'cheap' dresses felt. This dress is furthest from that. It has so much support on the top that I didn't have to pull it up once the entire day.

My wedding was on May 2, 2009. I purchased this dress on October 4, 2008 at an Anne Barge trunk show. It wasn't even available to see in the stores until a month ago. It will still be in style for years to come. I recommend this dress to anyone, it fits all shapes perfect! It's a size 6 and I didn't even have to have it altered anywhere besides the hem. I am 5' 3" and wore 3" heels. It is sad for me to sell it, but, even sadder for me to think of putting this gorgeous dress in a box in my closet to gather dust and never be worn again. I would much rather pass it on to the next gorgeous bride!!! Please note: There is a small, extremely hard to see snag on the front left. I tried to take a picture of it, but, it's so hard to see that it didn't even come out in the picture. It's the last picture circled in black.

Dress Alterations:

Veil/Headpiece Description:
I borrowed my veils from my girlfriend; so unfortunately, they are not available for sale. I would consider selling my tiara and necklace. Together they cost over $1000. I can sell them both for $600. The crystals are the exact same shape as the ones on the dress. It took me months to find the right tiara and necklace. They look like they were made for the dress.
