I fell in love with the Pronovias brand, and when I saw the Vicenta dress in the store, I immediately became giddy. When I came out in it, my mom started crying immediately and we both knew that I had found the dress.
It has the most perfect balance of romantic vintage details with the stunning rose lace appliques, a modern twist with the low V back, and all the while, it is extremely lightweight and comfortable making it a perfect wedding dress that you can dance in. When putting on the dress, I immediately felt confident, beautiful, and could not wait for my wedding day. I sincerely hope that whoever wears this dress next will feel just as special, stunning, and excited as I did.
Product Description from the Pronovias site: White, budding roses cover the bust and bodice of this cream-colored gown, stretching up the tattoo neckline towards cap sleeves topped with the same floral cuts, which also adorn its extensive, fitted mermaid skirt.
The dress has been professionally dry cleaned and preserved in a wedding box. The dress was worn for 5 hours in total and is in amazing condition.
My dress had the following alterations performed:
- The dress was hemmed to accommodate my height with flats which is 5 foot 4 inches. The front is straight; the back has a cathedral train.
- A custom color-coded bustle was created to hide the cathedral train without the fabric sticking out significantly.
- The waistline and sleeves were lifted slightly to accommodate a shorter torso.
- The hips and legs were taken in slightly to create a more enhanced mermaid/hourglass shape.
- B-cup bra cups were sewn into the bust.
- The buttons on the back were exchanged from nude buttons to white buttons that match the dress color.
- There was additional lace applique added to the stomach area as a continuation of the lace that was already present to divert the eye from the belly (please see attached photos).
