Size: Custom, but they told me to order a 22 and customize via emails
Lots of challenges, but ended alright, thanks to a couple alterations

Even before I was engaged, I often Pinned the Olivia Bottega dresses on my Pinterest boards out of how much I loved them. Because of that, the day after my now-husband proposed to me, I knew where I would be getting my dress from - Olivia Bottega! I had read countless reviews and seen so many images and videos of their dresses, and I was so in love! I began emailing about my dress with enough weeks per their calendar, but only got a response after it would become a rushed job for a custom-sized dress.

When they learned I wanted the Aleksis dress in blush, as a plus-sized bride, they let me know that it wouldn't fit my body, even though they do larger sizes in it. I had to have the bodice changed to their plus-sized Klouzi version, which, to save my embarrassment and shame, I agreed that it would look better; so, I stomached the added charge for the mandatory customization to fit my body better, per them. I had a slit added into the skirt, as I had wanted, and thought all was alright ...until I got the shipment video.

I had ordered the blush fabric, which while offered on the page, had no photos of it in the design. I had ordered swatches for the different fabrics forever ago, right after having gotten engaged, because again - I was a HUGE fan and I KNEW I wanted my dream wedding gown from here; the blush fabrics looked perfect, and I knew it was what I wanted! In the video, the bodice showed up as silvery, while the rest was that soft blush. I was horrified. So much communication later, I was basically told, "The bodice is thicker and has that under fabric, so while it is the same color as you ordered, it won't show up the same color as the skirt. That is not our fault, you should have realized that - it's common sense."

Once it arrived, I put it on, and it was far too large, even when laced up at the tightest (part of the Klouzi design; I think the regular Aleksis has a zipper?), which was really unexpected for a custom-sized dress. The bodice part of the gown was not as blatantly different colored, but still enough different in certain lighting that it made me feel like I was wearing a prom dress, not my dream wedding gown.

After adding color pastel and sealant to the top fabric (light dusting) and asking our amazing photographer to color-correct the bodice only whenever it would flash silver and change the look of the dress, as well as some expensive and very needed alterations for the bodice sizing, it made a gorgeous wedding gown.

After everything, thank you, Olivia Bottega; you made this process far more difficult and fat-shaming than I ever expected, but you ultimately delivered a dress that I was happy to wear after a few changes were made the morning of my wedding. I'm including photos because it ended up STUNNINGLY pretty, but the process to get it to this point was so painful and frankly, disheartening.
