THE "BLAKE" IS A VERY CLASSIC DESIGN. AN 'OFF THE SHOULDER' SWEETHEART NECKLINE GIVES THIS STUNNING IVORY CREPE GOWN AN ELEGANT, FEMININE AIR. Details like the criss-crossed bodice and sweeping train make it unforgettable. This item is only available at BHLDN. Brand new, this dress was $900.00 plus $200.00 in alterations and $140.00 for drycleaning- a total investment of $1240.00. It can be YOURS for $450.00!
I am 5'4 and 1/2, and I weigh 125 pounds . My bust size is 32DD. I normally wear a size 2 but this dress runs small (you can see the size details on the BHLDN website under the "Blake" dress fit information), so I got the SIZE 4 and it fit me perfect! The dress had to be shortened a bit. I have included several photos of the dress as I wore it on my wedding day. My heels were 3.5 inches tall and I am 5'4 an1/2, so total height is 5'8.
I got married in Napa Valley, CA. (We eloped so I only wore it for a very short time, during the ceremony (no reception). I wore it for about 2 hours for ceremony and pictures afterward.) You do not need a bra for this dress! : ) I did NOT wear a bra under this dress and it still gave me a ton of support! VERY comfortable and I was super happy with the dress and the fit.....and so was my new husband :)
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I live in Encinitas, CA (San Diego County) and am happy to discuss with you anytime. Stunning dress! If you want a classic looking style, that is sexy and comfortable, this is the dress for you! If not, good luck in your search and CONGRATS on your engagement! : )
