Some words from our real brides:

“I had no idea that I would end up wearing a dress this style, but when I tried it on I fell completely in love. No other dress fit me perfectly straight off the rack.” —StaceyAnd here’s how to personalize this style:

“The fabric is just absolutely gorgeous. Photos almost don’t even do it justice. It has this beautiful glossy almost iridescent sheen to it that looked positively magical all night long. But I also loved the buttons, the sexy back, and the tiny patch of open skin peeking out!” —Hannah

Personalization Options:

• Order with or without the keyhole in the bodice.
• Remove the train for a more casual look.
• Available as a strapless bodice or with the off-the-shoulder straps.
