Plus Size Long Sleeve Wedding Dress With Low Back
I LOVED this dress; the sleeves sold it for me the second I put it on! I was looking for something simple but not too plain, and this was it.
Designer's description: Illusion mesh sleeves strike a lovely balance between covered and bare, particularly when paired with a flattering, wide-set V-neck and low back. The A-line tulle skirt adds a softly voluminous finish.
I added a cathedral veil, a sparkly sash (the sash is clipped on with safety pins - as I didn't get to finish alterations due to the pandemic), and a trumpet slip under the dress.
Alterations:
Due to COVID, I was unable to go in for my final fittings.
-
I had a built-in bra added, however, it wrinkles some in the chest area (I didn't fill it out completely). I just put more stuffing in to fill it out, but alterations can probably fix the issue.
- Sleeves were fitted to me
- The bottom of the dress was shortened
- Sides were brought in some.
- I purchased an 18W but it was altered to fit a 44 bust, 41 waist, and 44.5 hips.
- Has a very simple bustle to pick up the train.
- I wasn't able to complete my final fitting due to covid and just had to take it "as is" since I was still getting married.
We couldn't have the big wedding we wanted so we got married in a park with our parents watching via zoom.
It was only worn for about 2 hours and professionally cleaned after!
