The Dress

Beautiful, ornate ivory/pewter accent dress **with pockets,** a Swarovski embroidered top, delicate bow at the waist, and a simple, pleated A-line/ballgown satin skirt (including small/medium train). It also comes with a beaded modesty panel you can add to the front to raise up the neckline.

My dress is bridal size 8, and I am a street size US4-6. For fit, the only really snug part of the dress is the waist - there was more room in the bust than I needed (I'm a 36A and it could definitely accommodate a larger rib size and/or bust), then the waist was fitted (my waist is closer to a 4 than a 6), and the hips are open (there's tons of room under the skirt given its voluminous cut).
I am 5'10" tall and wore flats - the dress has not been hemmed. My torso is on the shorter side compared to my overall height.

From the Sottero & Midgely website (link below - includes more pictures!):
"The perfect balance of sexy elegance, this Yaron mikado wedding gown features a plunging V-neckline, embroidered lace fitted bodice embellished with Swarovski crystals and beads, and self fabric belt with sophisticated bow. Hidden pockets complete a dramatically pleated ballgown skirt. Finished with crystal buttons over zipper closure. A front illusion embroidered lace modesty panel is included for more demure coverage."

The dress has been professionally dry-cleaned and boxed by the cleaners for easy transportation. Worn September 2017. Purchased from The Bridal Centre in Calgary, Alberta in early 2017.

It's also still on the Sottero & Midgley website, along with more pictures (including with the modesty panel): https://www.maggiesottero.com/sottero-and-midgley/margot/9868

I had minor alterations at the bridal shop where I purchased the gown:
* Straps shortened slightly
* Removed snaps for modesty panel (these could easily be added back on)
* Added bustle (the style with fabric ties along the bottom hem of the dress)
