This dress is a total dream! I wore it to my black-tie wedding in Mexico. Purchased at Vera Wang in Boston for $7000 USD plus tax.
The dress does have some imperfections and needs some work because I did wear it all night. I was looking for another wedding dress to wear for the party but could not find anything as beautiful as the Hayley so I decided I would wear it for the entire day. So worth it! I felt to pretty! Received many complements for the intricate and unexpected design. Very comfortable too! You don't need to wear a bra or petty coat since everything is already in the dress, so you can move freely on your big day.
I was going ot save the dress but it it's rather large, the boxed it is packaged in is the size of a large coffee table! Besides, it is such a beautiful dress it would be a shame to keep it stored.
I had the dress dry cleaned ($300 fee) so it would be ready to go, however, in the process some of the petals came off, I did collect them all so they would be shipped along with the dress. Please read carefully below to see what needs to be fixed before you can wear it:
-On the skirt part, the dress has a couple layers of ivory tulle and then an asymetrical top layer with the petals attached. Since I wore flats and the dress is for a height of 5'8.5" bride people stepped on it on the dance floor so it ripped. I took it to my seamstress after it was dry cleaned to see what could be done and she said it was quite easy to fix. Just remove the old ripped tulle and add two layers of fresh ivory tulle around the entire dress (and under the petals layer) to make it brand new again.
-Like I mentioned above, a lot of the petals fell off. My seamtress told me these need to be pressed and the sewn back in by hand. She quoted me a total of $200 dlls for the fresh tulle and sewing all the petals back in but I decided I didn't want to put more money into the dress. The price to fix it it's not bad! Though it depends on your seamstress so keep that in mind. If you are on a budget, you can always have a seamstress do the tulle fix and you can sew the petals in yourself little by little (or have your mom help!).
