Beautiful, one of a kind, Galia Lahav Gia Dress in Ivory. The dress is from Galia's Le Secret Royal II collection (https://www.galialahav.com/bridal/couture/le-secret-royal-part-ii/gia/).
The following alterations were made to the dress:
- padded cups added (removable)
- length was hemmed (to fit my height at 180 cm - I was wearing 7 cm heels, 180 cm is the height WITH my heels)
- tiny hooks were added in the back for bustle (my seamstress went with hooks rather than a button in order for the bustle to be completely invisible)
- I added an illusion top with added appliques (all of the material was purchased from Galia Lahav). The illusion top is incredible, you can barely see it (it basically adds a nice airbrushed look to your neckline, yet makes it much more comfortable than a strapless). I paid over $2500 for this alteration alone, yet I'm sure the illusion top can be removed)
- I also added a beige liner to make the dress less see-through (this can be removed).
My measurements are:
- Bust 85.5 cm
- Waist 64.5 cm
- High Hip 81.5 at 8cm from the natural waist
- Lower Hip 91.5 from 20cm from the natural waist
- Height: 180 cm
It is a gorgeous gown that I absolutely fell in love with. I felt sexy, regal and classic. It is a gorgeous designer gown (I wish I could wear it over and over again), it was incredibly comfortable. The gown was incredibly easy to dance in (I stayed in my gown from 4pm-3:00am)
The dress comes professionally cleaned, in the Galia Lahav bag, with original paperwork. I will also include a Galia Lahav veil for free (two layer tulle veil).
The bottom layer of the dress has some wear (slightly darker color), it is not noticeable to the naked eye when you wear the dress.
