Enzoani 'Dakota'

Beautiful modest wedding dress. Had this custom made  - no one has one like it!

This dress has a mermaid cut with alencon lace over mesh organza, and beautiful scalloped hemline. It also has buttons down the back and a beautiful semi-cathedral train and sturdy bustle.

I fell in love with it the first time that I tried it on. I received so many complements on it, and it really made my day. The total wearing time was only 3 hours - just ceremony and pictures. Not even a reception. It looks like new!

Alterations. The dress is a size 0, but I had it taken out a bit everywhere. So it's probably more like a size 2. I had neckline altered to make a sweetheart neckline and then added sleeves for modesty. You can't even tell sleeves were added. The seamstress shortened the dress for my height. I'm 5'3'' and wore 4 heels. My measurements:

Hips 36"
Waist 28.5"
Bust 32"

I purchased the dress from a well known bridal boutique in Houston, Texas.  In all I paid $3,240. That included custom neckline, adding of sleeves, belt, and alterations. I'm selling for $1600. That's 50% off for a custom dress. Seriously, you have to take a look.
