The Dress

Sophia Tolli dresses are known for being sexy, and boy, the Noelle has to be one of the sexiest of the lot! I started dress shopping thinking I wanted something less traditional/girly/fancy, but was completely won over when I tried this dress on. I'm super short (152cm or just skimming 5'0") and quite curvy, so we did need to do two rounds of alterations. The train is untouched, though, so none of the beautiful detail and movement was lost to the scissors. The lace is soft and a bit stretchy, which helps with hugging every curve in a flattering manner. It's also fitted for a bustle, and I wore the NuBra adhesive bra.

Dress description from the Sophia Tolli site: "Sleeveless allover soft lace over soft satin fit and flare gown, deep V-neckline adorned with crystal-encrusted detail under bust, slender shoulder straps feature tiny encrusted broaches, illusion lace open back with two closures creating a keyhole design and finished with encrusted crystals, lower back zipper trimmed with satin buttons, court length train"

I have more photos that I'm happy to share. It's been dry-cleaned and is hanging in its protective garment bag waiting for a new bride to put her on!
