This dress is UNREAL. Truthfully, I was terrified to shop for a wedding dress, because so many dresses I saw in pictures looked like prom dresses, and I worried that I wouldn't find anything that felt right to me. This dress was not at all what I imagined wearing for my ceremony in a Vermont field and reception in a barn, but it ended up being completely perfect. The corset is very flattering, and held me up well throughout the whole day and night, while still being totally comfortable. As the pictures show, the train is incredibly long - again, not what I thought I wanted - but it ended up being stunning in photos and made me feel like a princess. The material looks like raw silk, and has a gorgeous floral pattern woven into it. The fabric is on the heavy side because of the quality, unlike many dress I tried on, though it is still comfortable despite the weight. The the front right below the corset is cut asymmetrically, which makes it really unique. The best part, though, is that it has pockets! One of the memorable parts of our ceremony was when it came time for our vows, and I pulled them out of my pocket, to everyone's surprise. We got a huge laugh. All night, everyone wanted to check out the pockets in my amazing dress. I thought I might change out of the dress during the reception, but I ended up just bustling it up and dancing in it all night.
This dress was beyond perfect for our rustic wedding, but would be equally beautiful in a more traditional church wedding as well. It is an incredibly unique design, from the cut of the dress to the fabric itself - I was unable to find anything like it, or even this exact dress, when I was searching for dresses myself.
