This is a Birnbaum & Bullock Jessica wedding dress, size 0.
This dress is beautiful, simple and classic. I loved that it wasn't strapless, like the majority of other dresses these days. I also loved how lightweight and comfortable this dress was during my wedding and reception. The satin inner layer of the dress feels so luxurious and soft and the lace is classic and beautiful.
ALTERATIONS-- I had the ivory-colored crepe sash removed from the dress (you can see what it looked like in the model pictures). I wore a custom champagne-colored dupioni sash in its place, which looked great. A rhinestone or floral applique sash/belt would also look fantastic. I didn't like the original ivory sash because I wanted a sash with a bit more contrast, and I also wanted it to wrap around my waist and tie in a bow in the back, and the way the original was sewn in, this was not possible.
There is hardly any train on this dress at all, but I didn't want anyone to step on it during the reception, so I had a one-point bustle added. This would be easy to remove if you do not want it.
I also had the straps taken up a tiny bit (probably less than half an inch). This would be easy to undo if you need that length back.
I had this dress professionally cleaned immediately after the wedding and it was stored in a box with acid-free paper. Kept in a smoke-free, pet-free home.
