Elegant Simple Silk Rouched Figure-Flattering Strapless Fit and Flare Wedding Dress
CA05313
I was obsessed with this dress the moment I tried it on. It felt grand and simplistic all at once. The train was STUNNING and perfect for a more traditional look, but also the seamstress at the store was able to alter it and put in a French Bustle for easy transitioning for the reception.
I was also deeply obsessed with the buttons along the back. The back zips fully, but also has hooks for each button for the day of. The top has such a subtle heart shape, leading down to the bodice, which was incredibly slimming. I loved the way that the back tucked in, really accentuating my shape from the back before flowing into the gorgeous waves that made up the bottom of the dress.
The thing that really won me over on this dress was the color of the silk and the way it flowed. It's so creamy and soft, and gives off an elegant look.
Alterations
The alterations were minor as far as sizing goes, but they were able to create the bustle. Some length at the front was taken off so that it hit perfectly at my feet, wearing 4" heels, making it perfect for someone in the 5'4-6" range.
Condition
The dress was not professionally cleaned after the wedding, so it has little to average marks along the bottom that any cleaning company would easily be able to fix. There is one tiny snag on the bodice that I'd guess was a result of my new wedding ring I wasn't used to wearing at the time :).
