I LOVE this dress! When I was wedding dress shopping I kept describing my dress as a gold/champagne color with a 'Vintage Gatsby feel.' After trying on over 100 dresses, this gem was exactly what I wanted. I purchased it at a local bridal boutique, Step'n'Out, in Billings, Montana. The color is technically called Ivory, however there is definitely a touch of champagne to it. The beading on it is ornate and delicate, the lace overlay gives it a vintage feel while the neckline and overall dress shape makes it modern. I also made a change to the back. If you look at any photos of the 'Emma' dress, it has a laced corset back - I custom ordered the dress with the 'Emma Marie' back: industrial invisible zipper hidden by silk buttons. The inner corset kept the dress perfectly placed and secure all day; the corset also eliminated the annoying hassle of multiple undergarments - all I needed was the dress (no bras, waist trainers, etc...). The inner tulle has some wear and tear to it, my shoes unfortunately snagged it as I walked, but considering it was a layer designed to fluff the dress and would never been seen, I didn't think twice about it. I did wear a vintage belt with the dress, which is not included. If I had a reason to wear this incredible gown again I totally would but alas, this Montana girl doesn't exactly have another occasion to.
