After seven dress shops and wondering whether I would ever experience that "ahha" moment... I found this beauty. I laughed and exclaimed "wow" just as she slipped over my hips. The design is so modestly sexy and makes you feel like the woman you are! It brought tears to my eyes and I knew right then and there!
I chose to use the dropped shoulder straps for the Ceremony and replaced them with beautiful beaded spaghetti straps for the Reception. Now looking back, I kind of wish I'd worn the spaghetti straps for the Ceremony because they complimented the gown so well.
It was an outdoor wedding and I took great care of her, but naturally there are a few spots along the edges that have less of a stark white finish. She has been professionally cleaned, however they left a tiny rust spot where a seamstress pin was still attached underneath the applique. I'm going to see if I can make a difference myself and update the listing after the fact.
I was elated to find this romantic, sexy, sophisticated gown and I hope you enjoy her as much as I did.
