Eva lendel - Valery

When I tried this dress on, I said it "felt like the sweatpants of dresses". It's extremely comfortable but also looks amazing! I loved this dress SO much, and would be thrilled to have someone else get some use out of it. It is so elegant, modern, and also sleek and simple. The dress has hidden pockets (!!!), which were great for pulling out my vows during the ceremony, and carrying small items during the reception. The bow is such a statement, and made the dress feel a little extra girly and special. Measurements: I am 5'6" and wore this with sneakers (no heel). I'm ~135 lbs and 34C, typically a size Medium or Small (US 6-8). The bustle was done with 3 buttons which held up pretty well during the reception. The ribbon in the dress used for the bustle is still in great shape, except for one loop which will need repair (have pictures of this) - should be minor. The bottom of the dress has a few dark spots from where it touched the floor during the wedding. This is more pronounced in the back of the dress where the train dragged on the ground, but in the front it's basically clean. (Happy to share pictures of any spots I found.) This dress was dry cleaned in 2024, and has been untouched since. The dry cleaners put a nice cardboard bodice piece in with the dress to maintain the shape of the dress while it hangs in the closet.
