Romantic Sleeveless Lace and Tulle A-Line Wedding Dress
The dress has a deep V in the front, on both sides, and a low back. There is sheer fabric on the deep V so there is no chance of it moving or anything popping out! I wanted the deeper cuts and really liked them. The lace is leaves that go the length of the dress. I loved that it was less traditional lace.
Under the lace, there is a layer of fabric with sparkles and then a mocha layer. I liked the mocha as I am fair-skinned and it made the dress a little less white which complimented my skin tone well. The sparkles are understated and I usually am not a big glitz and glam person however I really liked the detail this layer added.
It has what I call tank top straps which were great because I didn’t feel like I needed to hike my dress up ever like I may have with a strapless. They are about an inch thick which also was great so they didn’t dig into my skin like some of the skinnier strapped dresses I tried on did!
I did wear a small hoop skirt with my dress as it was recommended by my alteration lady and it was great because I was never worried about stepping on my dress or my dress not falling right. If desired I’m open to sending my hoop skirt with the dress however I did not have this professionally cleaned, but there are no stains and it is not visible when wearing the dress. I loved my dress.
Alterations: I had my alterations done at amazing alterations in MN. Which is a very highly-rated alteration shop and they did an amazing job. For alterations there was length removed however I am 6ft tall and had an extra 4 inches added to the length when I purchased the dress so the dress is still longer than when I tried it on (I wore combat boots with the dress).
The dress was also taken in a few times on the bodice to fit properly. There were also detachable sleeves but I had the button removed. The sleeves are still with the dress if you would like to have your seamstress add them (photo of one of the sleeves included). I also added a bustle to the dress and the hooks are really well hidden in the lace but they are there!
Condition: The dress is in good condition I had it professionally cleaned. The only stains that did not come out were along the bottom hem of the dress, some of the lace is slightly off-color and the mocha layer at the bottom also is discolored in some locations (photos included). Overall it is not noticeable and if you were to alter the length of the dress all of that would be removed. There is also one of the four buttons on the back missing.
