The Dress

THE DRESS

This Katie May Monaco dress is absolutely stunning. I wore it for my wedding in Yosemite National Park, CA in September 2018. The dress is truly unique and gorgeous, with its flowing chiffon skirt, beautiful neckline and jaw-dropping back. It fits beautifully around the hips and upper thighs, creating a silhouette to die for! In addition to this, the dress is extremely comfortable, allowing me to walk around Yosemite on our wedding day with ease.
I am still completely in love with the dress- it fits like a glove and is flattering on any number of silhouettes. I wear a US size 6, but the dress can accommodate some variations of that, given some alterations. Only worn for around 5 hours on our wedding day.
The dress is ivory with an ivory lining. Purchased in 2018 and handmade by Katie May in Los Angeles.
I am 5'7 and wore the dress with 3 inch heels. The dress was hemmed to sit just above my toes.

DRY CLEANING

Since the wedding, the dress has been dry cleaned to the highest standards at an extremely professional cleaner specialising solely in the cleaning of wedding gowns. They did a fantastic job and the dress is in pristine condition; it truly is as good as new.

ALTERATIONS

I had $700 worth of alterations done including hemming, adjustment of the bust, straps, lowering of the back and the addition of an awesome custom train piece (included in the price here). This train piece (see picture #8) is fully removable (with velcro - super easy!) and ensures that the train maintains its form when standing still. I found that without it, the dress, like any other dress in this material would, had a tendency to lie a little flat. Since I wanted it to stick out a little more when standing still, my bridal alterations company custom designed this to fit perfectly with the dress. As mentioned, it is fully removable and is extremely easy to add/remove as needed.

INCLUDED IN THE PRICE

For everything being sold in this listing, I spent just short $3000.
Included in the price of this listing are a custom train piece (see "Alterations" section for more details) and a pair of Nearly Me breast enhancers (recommended by the designer herself). These are top end hypo-allergenic silicone breast enhancers (valued at $60 alone) that slide easily into the dress's own cups. They can therefore be easily removed. Since the dress is backless, they provide a great solution to giving your chest a little extra shape and size in lieu of a bra.
