This wedding dress is brand new with no alterations and has not left the bag since I brought it home from the store! I loved this dress because I am a DD in the chest and I loved how minimizing it was in the bust! I also loved how flattering the open lace coming to the sides was, emphasizing the look of an hour glass shape. My street size is 10/12 but bought the dress in an 18 - I wanted to make sure I had plenty to work with for alterations (again, I never had it altered). The dress is ivory and the lace is ivory. Traditional details with updated design elements create a uniquely sexy look on this Stella York wedding dress. Cotton-style vintage laces create a floral explosion throughout the fitted silhouette, and stand out against the neutral Georgette lining for a multi-dimensional look. A combination of French and eyelash laces finish the hem and neckline for a touch of old-world charm, while the V-neckline with wide lace straps feels casual yet classic. The back of this gown features an incredible floral lace design that complements the floating fabric buttons, and the delicate yet multi-layered train flows out from beneath the hips to create an enviably feminine shape.
