Elegant Simple Classic Strapless Ball Gown Wedding Dress
This dress struck me for its timelessness and simplicity. I knew I could embellish it with a belt if I wanted to or just have the pleated waist, which is how I chose to wear it in the end and focused instead on adorning my dress with a long, lace veil.
The dress fit perfectly the moment I put it on, and the only major alteration I had to make was having it shortened.
I fell in love with the sweetheart neckline, fitted waist, and flared skirt, which felt slimming and made my waist and stomach appear small without being uncomfortable. It has built-in cups, so I didn’t wear a bra, but it was so well fitted at the top that I was never worried that it would slip down or otherwise expose my bust. A line of buttons trails down the back of the dress, and those above the waist fasten over the zipper.
I chose an American bustle, and just had a reinforced button at my waist. I also chose to have some of the tulle taken out so that it was still full-bodied but not as large as a ball gown.
The dress was both elegant and comfortable. All night long I felt beautiful in my dress whether during the ceremony with the veil on or with it bustled and swishing on the dance floor at the reception. I love the dress and would wear it again if only I could!
It has been fully cleaned and there aren’t any stains but there is some discoloration on the inside of the hem that does not show on the outside.Once you have placed your order the Seller will be notified.
