Market Place
Maggie Sottero Wedding dress


I thought I would give my fellow WBC brides an opportunity to purchase my wedding dress before putting it up on EBay.

I can not express how beautiful and comfortable I felt in this amazing gown by designer Maggie Sottero. The dress is "Paris" and is no longer available through the website.

I've attached a few pictures and will give as much detail as I can think of but please feel free to comment if you have any questions and I would be happy to answer.

# Label Size: 6 (lace up back gives some lenience with size)
# Street Size: 4
# Bust: 36
# Waist: 29
# Hips: 36
# Height w/shoes: 5' 6"
# Silhouette: Ball Gown
# Neckline: Strapless (Sweetheart)
# Waistline: Natural/Dropped Waist

Dress Details

The gown is a strapless two-piece, corset and skirt. The corset features a sweetheart neckline, with layered texture and it laces up the back. This corset style gives a nice form fit (so even if you're not exactly the same size as I am, you should be able to get a good fit, without additional alterations).Brooch on the front is removable but I loved that it gave my dress that little sparkly detail without being over the top. The skirt features a chapel length train, and is very full with the box-pleats. I really wanted to feel like a princess... and I really did! it's a whole lotta dress and absolutely gorgeous. I have had the dress drycleaned even though we were outside for only a short amount of time on a nice dry day for pictures. There's no stains/dirt on the corset, or on the skirt itself.

Dress Alterations

No alterations were done to the corset . I had the the bustling done to match the style of the box pleats to blend in nicely. I did have the dress hemmed but personally went with a fuller crinoline cause I wanted it bigger. I'm 5'4" without a full crinoline it would easily fit to 5'6"
