After trying on dresses in bridal stores, I wasn't able to find a dress that I was in love with. But I knew I wanted an A-line strapless dress for the ceremony. I got the dress custom made and the quality is similar to those I tried on in bridal stores but costed much less.
I only wore this dress for the ceremony. The dress has a small corset back so sizing at the bust is flexible. Note that the dress will need a petticoat to support its shape, which I can include for an additional cost. I got the petticoat at David's bridal.
