I purchased my dress from Apilat Creative Atelier (based in Ukraine). I was looking for a shorter dress that felt really classic, and absolutely fell in love with the lace jacket. I communicated directly with the dress maker, and was so touched by her attention to detail and care that she put into my order. We had a small, modest wedding, and this dress was the perfect fit. I felt really beautiful, but still felt comfortable. I love it so much that I considered dying it and wearing it again, but it's simply more formal than I need, and would rather see it lovingly re-worn in another wedding.
I am 5'2", and the dress comes to just below my knees. It is fitted throughout, but is flexible around the legs. The ensemble consists of three pieces: the dress itself, the lace jacket, and the ribbon for the waist. The dress has thin straps for extra support, but I tucked them into the dress and wore it sleeveless. The jacket snaps in the back, but the dress also looks beautiful without, so the jacket could be removed at any point. The ribbon is completely optional and could be omitted or replaced with a different color.
