Firstly, congrats on your engagement!! I wish you all the best and may your planning be fun and you wedding be joyful!
I tried this dress on at BHLDN and fell in love with it but the price was more than I was willing to spend. I spent months searching for a dress I liked half as much. Then I stumbled onto this site and found my dream dress. It was gorgeous and fit perfectly! The illusion straps and double banding at the waistline are really unique and the silver underlayers give it an ethereal shimmer. The style is sweet and romantic and surprisingly comfortable. I got so many compliments both at the wedding and after when we shared our photos.
We had a lovely river park wedding and while the dress has been cleaned (see below) there are some small tears in the tulle. They are small and not particularly noticeable unless you're looking closely since there are 5 layers of tulle. They are captured in the last two pictures and I'm happy to share more.
I'm hoping to pass this dress on to another lucky (and thrifty) bride who can enjoy it as much as I did.
