Classic Sleeveless Mikado Ball Gown Wedding Dress with Empire Waist
This Stella York dress was the royal-inspired, classic dress of my dreams. I was very interested in a dress that would look timeless but also provide comfort all day.
It has wide straps and a classic ballgown look to the skirt. There is a train with buttons all down the back, which you can see in the photos. There is a bustle already attached to the dress. The best part? It has pockets!! Which was very useful during the reception!
Sizing & Alterations: I'm 5'4" and the length of the dress was just a bit too long when I first bought the dress. With alterations, I think the length would fit anyone 5'6" and shorter. The length was the only alteration that I needed, as the straps miraculously worked right off the hanger. At the time of my wedding, I was between a street size 8 and size 10, but the size of the dress is listed at a 10.
Condition: There is a tiny bit of wear and tear around the back of the belt line, but it is not noticeable at all. I opted not to wear a belt with it, but I imagine that it would look lovely with one if you decide to add it!
Designer Description: Simply beautiful, this royal-inspired wedding dress is as timeless as love itself. From bridal designer Stella York, this gorgeous gown is for the bride who wants to have a timeless style on her wedding day. Made of matte Mikado fabric, the ballgown silhouette features a modern empire waist and open, square back. A small pleat in the skirt allows the ballgown skirt to keep its shape beautifully. Fabric covered buttons run down the length of the train and pockets have been added for one final modern touch.
