The Dress

Why I fell in love with the dress? This is the perfect A line dress. I am pear shaped, and I found that this was the dress that was the most flattering for my figure. It is snug on top, and structured flow on the bottom. I didn't want a dress that I had to watch what I ate the day of the wedding for bloating, and this dress was perfect for that. The fact that the dress was made by a well known Canadian designer was an added bonus - the quality of her designs and fabric was apparent as soon as I tried the dress on.

How did the dress make me feel: like a princess.

How it moves - the dress is tight on top so there is no need to keep "adjusting" the top all day. The bottom has some structure but still moves very beautifully. The dress itself is not too heavy.

The dress is classic and will always be in style. It was easy to style: I had a simple bun in my hair, a long veil, and no other jewelry because the dress was so breathtaking on its own.

The dress is unique because I have a long torso and I couldn't find a strapless dress where the bust was high. This dress was perfect for me.

Alterations

The alterations were simple, I only had the dress hemmed and then the cups were taken in about one cm so it could be a bit more snug on top. The seamstress also added a bustle, which I really only used for dancing.
