Ivory Lace Long Sleeve Wedding Dress

"I didn't give the dress much attention at first since it didn't look like much on the hanger," Melissa says of her ivory lace Watters design. "It fit beautifully and didn't overwhelm my short, but curvy frame. Melissa also loved the dress's subtle, yet chic, details. "It has whisper-thin lace sleeves and a deep-v back—it felt like a good balance between modest and sexy."
