Beautiful Elegant Minimalist Strapless Ball Gown Wedding Dress
This Maggie Sottero simple romantic ballgown will be a showstopper at your wedding. This dress is timeless and chic. I absolutely love it, and want nothing more than someone else to put it to good use!
This dress has the perfect amount of volume, a gorgeous flowing train that can easily be bustled for dancing, a strapless scoop neckline, and covered buttons down the back. The dress is fitted at the underbust only, loosely draped from the waist down, and fitted (but not being supported) at the chest. The dress is made of unembellished Shavon organza with tulle underneath. While it has some weight to it, it's manageable - I wore it for 10+ hours.
The alterations from the original were minimal. About a 1/2" off the hem. I am 5'10" so this length should work for most brides who could hem shorter or wish to wear a heel. About an inch from the underbust was taken in, but not at the chest. I wear a 34D, so anyone with a smaller bra size wouldn't have a problem taking the dress in further. The good news is the dress is not fitted at the hip and there is plenty of space to move below the waist of the dress. And the last alteration was the addition of the American over-bustle. With 3 points of attachment, it's easy to manage.
