This Alita Graham dress is labeled a size 26, however I am a size 22. The measurements are as follows: Bust 50", Waist 45", Low hip 59".
Keep in mind when you purchase a wedding dress (particularly online) you usually have to purchase a different size then your normal clothes size. I purchased this in Dec. 2010 from and it was worn in Sept 2011. I have the original receipt. The dress was purchased for $2300.
Should you have any questions, I will help answer the best I can!
I LOVED this dress and hope that I can find a full figured lady who wants to feel elegant on her wedding day too!
The dress is dirty at the bottom due to the simple walking outside the day of. There is also a purple mark under the beading where my flowers touched the dress. I can send a pic of both of these if asked.
- DRESS DETAILS
-
Beautiful gown purchased from Kleinfelds. Shown several times on TLC's "Big Bliss". Has gorgeous clear beading around the waist. Long train with buttons down the back and zipper. There are small pleats all over the bust area. There are several large pleats around the skirt area. This small ballgown hides large hips well! I am very much a pear shape and couldn't be happier with my choice of a dress! The back of the dress is a "v" shape.
- DRESS ALTERATIONS
- This was hemmed for a 5'8 person and I wore flats the day of. There is an American bustle which is color coded to tie together. The side of the bust area was taken in. Also there is an ivory chiffon wrap that was added to the gown. Buttons were sewn inside the bust of the dress so that the wrap can be either buttoned and worn to provide minimal coverage on the upper arms and back or unbuttoned and completely without the wrap. When unbuttoned (and removed), no one can tell the dress was altered in anyway for this wrap.
- VEIL
- Simple two tier veil, not purchased at Kleinfelds. The veil glistens in the sunlight.
The dress will need to be dry cleaned.
Comes from a pet free and smoke free home.

The final picture makes the beads looks a bit black. There are no black beads on the dress. It is all clear. It just depends how the light hits them that affects the color in some photos.
