This is a fully custom gown from start to finish and sparkles like nothing you've ever seen!
This dress was purchased and altered at the same location out of a reputable gown shop in Birmingham, Michigan. It has a full tulle ballgown skirt which includes a discreet sparkle layer just beneath the top layer. There is a very lightweight hoop underneath the skirt which makes movement extremely easy considering the amount of layers of tulle. You absolutely DO NOT feel as though you're dragging a dress. It just seems to float with you when you move.
The bodice is covered in crystals with some small sequins scattered between the crystals and the fabric. All items have been sewn on by hand. This dress truly catches the light in a way I have not seen before. Whether it's candlelight or natural light, the dress truly sparkles! The straps are made of crystal and tiny clear beads and come to a 'V" shape in the back making it easy to maneuver and dance in, never having to adjust them throughout the night.
The bodice is cut low enough on the sides, underneath the arms, so there is definitely no need to worry about potential irritation. I danced the night away and didn't have a mark.
This dress was truly comfortable to wear! I loved it. The only problem I had was with my veil getting caught in the beads & crystal straps but unless you wear a veil throughout your entire wedding ceremony and reception, this is only an issue for a short time.
I would recommend that you have a flesh-tone bustier sewn into the bodice so that it is a part of your dress. I did this and it was extremely helpful in that I didn't have to adjust anything throughout the day or wear additional support. The dress and bustier were one which made it worry free.
Hidden zipper closure in back.
***Please note that there is not a size label in this dress so I kept that information consistent with the street size. Because this was custom made, there is not a tag.
