Custom Italian Handmade Size 6 Trumpet Wedding Dress with XX Long Dramatic Veil

FYI the train of this dress does bustle up onto a few buttons sewn on the back to form a beautiful mermaid style dress perfect for dancing and moving about freely. The story behind this dress is just as amazing as the dress itself! Vacationing in Rome, Italy with my mother when my then boyfriend told me he'd asked my dad for my hand in marriage. Of course mom and I had to look! We found only one small wedding gown store, but it looked closed. As I looked through the window a gorgeous woman walked up to us and I asked if this was a wedding store since there was only one wedding dress on a pedestal at the center of the store... she smiled politely and answered "yes, this is a CUSTOM (emphasis mine) wedding dress boutique. XO And SHE was the owner.I nearly turned back thinking no way I could afford a custom wedding gown. But I didn't even get a chance to say anything else, the woman gently took my arm and pulled me in. I felt so bad thinking "ugh I'm just gonna waste this poor woman's time!" she took me upstairs to her studio where the walls were lined with raw fabric, lace of all sheens, buttons, and corsets! She sat me down and asked "do you have pictures of what you like?" I decided just to hurry up and show her a Pinterest photo of this amazing dress and veil I'd found but couldn't find in a single store in the US. I told her so and she glanced at it once and instantly replied, "you can't find that dress anywhere because that's a custom gown".... well now that made sense!
