That is my dress and I looooove it. Any other bee’s wearing this dress?
I plan to remove the circle from the bow and either leave it plain or replace it with an antique brooch.
I think I will be wearing my hair down or half up, and I want it romantic and vintage looking. Curious to see if anyone else will be wearing this dress and if so how they’ll be styled! 🙂

@emilyekk:i just bought it today! i’m going to get it shortened to “ballet length” (which is a little longer than tea) and wear a birdcage veil.
i had the same idea on that weird rhinestone thing and using an antique brooch. i just got it today though, so that could change!
did you see that they had a flower girl dress that’s almost identical too? i wasn’t going for matchy, but they were just too cute!

What kind of bustle is that in the picture? I am getting the same dress and would like to copy the bustle.

Hey ladies,
It’s time to bring the dress in for alterations. Is anyone worried that the dress won’t stay up (especially when dancing)? Or has anyone gotten anything added to the inside of the bodice to ensure that it will stay up? And if so, what? I feel like I should be getting more done than just taken in around the empire waist.

Has anyone shortened the Galina dress? I need to hem mine, I am thinking a high low, or maybe tea length?
