Dazzling modern-meets-vintage gown.
Quite simply - STUNNING! Simple structured, modern, silk faille wedding dress. I absolutely adored the dress for it’s clean lines (corset shape), train (structured and dimensional), and sweetheart neckline (this softened the look).
This dress was unlike any I had ever seen before. I had made an appointment at the Nordstrom Bridal Suite in downtown Seattle. My stylist had brought it in (was available due to an Oscar de la Renta trunk show) and when I saw it hanging on the rack, I didn't think anything of it. After trying on several other Vera, Oscar, Monique, and Lazaro dresses, Addison was the 2nd to last dress I tried. WOW - I was shocked and knew right away this dress was special. My mom also knew right away as soon as she saw it on. Honestly - it's a show stopper, and when you're spending $7K on a dress, that's what you want! There is a sense of maturity and chic-ness that screamed sophistication when you see it on. The fabric was incredible (it has a very slight, beautiful sheen, and the quality is outstanding) and the dress was incredibly flattering. I felt like a celebrity wearing the dress...and later, I realized that Jessica Alba had worn the same dress in a different color on the red carpet, so no wonder!
I apologize that I don't have a good photo of the back of the dress, but please google it so that you can see it!
I was truly comfortable wearing the dress all day, and I got compliments constantly on how gorgeous the dress is. I had no problem dancing and moving in it, getting up and sitting down,etc.
I felt like an absolute star wearing this dress, and I know you will too as the lucky next bride to rock it on the most special day of your life!! Congratulations to you on your upcoming wedding day!
**PLEASE NOTE** There are some visible stains on the bottom of the dress (and also where the dress may have dragged underneath) and a small stain on the back by the zipper. I've posted a couple of pictures as examples of what the stains look like. The beautiful skirt will need a little bit of repair as well (where the dress is structured and had some stitching, it looks like the dry cleaning may have undone the stitching to a couple of the areas so will need to be restitched, and the bustle needs to be repaired and the hem reinforced. I have priced the dress with these things in mind.
