This dress was phenomenal! I had so many compliments. It's much too beautiful to keep in a closet, so I hope someone else will get to enjoy it as much as I did. My dress is unique from the other Galia Lahav Blossom dresses in that the underskirt is blush instead of white/ivory. It gives it a little extra flair! This dress is exquisitely made with 3 layers of lace and appliques but is not bulky like a lot of lace dresses I tried on are.
This dress was custom-made and is in perfect condition. There are no rips, tears, or any damage to the dress. It was worn for my wedding ceremony and the first part of the reception, and I changed into another dress shortly afterwards. There is a little dust along the blush underskirt. There is absolutely no dirt or stains on any other part of the dress (no make-up rubbed off on it, etc). I am a size 0 but this dress was a little loose on me and has considerable stretch. I am petite but curvy with a 32D bust. The hemline is made with a extra piece of scalloped edge lace, which can easily be altered to be longer or shorter. I am 5'3" and wore 4.5" shoes.
If you purchase this dress I will throw in two sets of veils: 1) cathedral length plain veil with a matching removable blusher, and 2) cathedral length oval drop veil with scattered Swarovski crystals all over it. The second one I wore for my ceremony and it was sheet and beautiful. The first I wore for pictures when my face didn't need to be covered. They are both worth over $150 each.
I have an extra piece of tulle that we tried putting underneath the skirt in the front to fluff it out and give it even more of a mermaid shape, but it was too much for me. however, it is available if you want to use it (probably better on a slightly taller person than I am).
