After trying on over 30 dresses, I came across this beautiful beaded gown in BHLDN and fell deeply in love as soon as I slipped it on. Throughout my dress hunt I kept hearing "you would just know it's the one when it's THE one" which I never believed. However, this dress made me a firm believer of this statement. It seriously is a gorgeous gown in pictures and even more gorgeous on. It hugs your body in all the right places, and the geometric motif creates the most beautiful figure-flattering dress ever. It's delicate bead work makes it very unique from any other, typical wedding dress.
I am 5'3.5 in height or 64 inches tall, weigh approximately 115 lbs., and have a petite shaped body. The dress was shortened at the bottom and the straps were taken in about one inch. Please look at the pictures carefully. I wore Stuart Weitzman's The Nudist Sandal with 4.5 inch heels and it slightly gracefully brushed the earth. It has the perfect length train that was not altered. I did add a bustle to the back. I purchased the dress in a size 2, however I could have worn a size 0 for a tighter fit, so there is a little room if you would like to alter the body of the dress.
Besides the addition of the bustle, shortening of the hem and straps, the dress is in immaculate condition. I have extra beads if you need but all beads are in tact and I honestly do not see any beads missing.
The dress was worn on October 1, 2016 for only 4 hours. I have the original tags, receipt, garment bag, and box in arrived it.
