I purchased this dress this past winter for my wedding on May 31st in Puerto Rico. I went to the Los Angeles BHLDN store and fell in love with this gown. Here's a link to the dress with all the dress details (which is no longer available for purchase on the BHLDN site): I had such an emotional reaction to trying this dress on, and so did my friends. It's just GORGEOUS.
I am 5'11" and normally wear a size 10/12 in dresses and this size 10 dress fit me perfectly. I have a short torso with very long legs and a large bust, and this dress flattered all those physical traits. I would say that this dress would be perfect for both flats (I wore flats) or heels, depending on your height. It seems best for a curvier lady like myself. The first several photos are me at my wedding, so you can get an idea of my figure and what the dress looked like on a real person (and not a model). I'd honestly say the dress looks better on than it does on the models on the BHLDN site (who seem too skinny for the dress).
This dress is super lightweight (maybe 2 lbs?) and delicate. It is dotted ivory tulle layered over champagne satin with scalloped lace embellishments at the hem and neck line. There is a relatively high-waisted satin waist band. Very light bust cup and boning. There's a unique shoulder design that is sexy and classy at the same time. This is an extremely feminine dress. Beautiful back with lace covered buttons. Well made. I hate to let go of it, but it will just sit in my closet otherwise. Great for a beach wedding!!! Very romantic, fun, and whimsical with a vintage feel. Would look great with pearls or champage druzy jewelry (I did both). I am offering this dress (much to my heartbreak) for either $1,350 for the dress alone, or $1,500 for the dress, purse, wedding sash and earrings all together (photos of these items are below).
