What I Loved: This dress photographed beautifully and fell very nicely in all our pictures. I was very comfortable all day and loved the pocket feature for taking photos when I didn't know what to do with my hands. The dress cut is very simple and flattering but the fabric is actually pretty detailed / sophisticated so it really elevated the look IMO. Oh and the back - it's not super low cut but it definitely cuts down in a "V" shape which looked really nice in photos.
Size: US 10 (measurements of dress = 36 (bust) | 29 (waist) | 41 (hips); my measurements = 36 | 29 | 40.5)
Alterations: American Bustle, very slight hemming at bottom of the dress (~1/4 inch), shortening of straps, cups added, bodice taken in very slightly around the cups and under arms.
Preservation: I got my dress professionally cleaned and preserved within 2 weeks of my wedding! Here's the preservation company: https://www.facebook.com/GownPreservation/
