"Monica" is a royal pattern lace bridal bodysuit, that has an appearance of a V neck in both front and back, and lined in a complimentary sort of "sweetheart" shape, following the pattern of the lace's scallops. It allows one to wear their own bra too - although we would recommend strapless or one with clear straps - you can see an entirely nude one worn in our listing photos and how that one appears. This bridal bodysuit top is very soft and comfortable to wear. The most stunning feature of this wedding top are certainly the sleeves with fabric coated buttons.
This top is pictured in ivory lace and an ivory color underlay. You may select different color underlays, and lace is also available in ivory and black, as well as it is possible to hand dye it - please kindly inquire about that before purchasing it in custom color. Not all underlays in the palette are suitable for this particular top, as the palette is for all of our tops, but ones that will work are available in the drop down menu.
Pair this top with any or our bridal bottoms: https://www.etsy.com/shop/WardrobeByDulcinea?ref=l2-shop-info-name%C2%A7ion_id§ion_id=19306135

Even though we make everything to your measurements, please do not be under impression that local alterations are guaranteed to not be needed. That is not at all the case as there are many reasons something does fit just right out of the bag, like: measurements taken incorrectly (we take measures such as asking for measuring photos but even that isn't a 100% foolproof method), measurements change in time due to weight loss or gain, posture related things (open back bodysuits are affected the most), and lastly, of course, we too can make a mistake and if we do we will solve it, here's how to address it:
HOW TO SUBMIT A CLAIM WHEN SOMETHING DOESN'T FIT TO A GREAT EXTENT:
Please contact us within a week post delivery for a solution. A statement "this garment piece doesn't fit" is unfortunately not a claim we can consider. If, for example, your skirt is too short for you, too wide, or too narrow, please kindly measure it, compare it to the measurements you gave us, and if a discrepancy is indeed found, please send us photos that show it (measuring tape around your body, measuring tape across the garment (we are happy to tell you how to measure the garment if you are not sure and need assistance). If we indeed are to blame for the ill fitting garment, beyond the extent of expected nips and tucks on the bodysuit or a tight fitting top we covered before, we will absolutely be of service of solving the problem. We will either pay for alterations on your end, send you a new garment or just a part of it (e.g, new sleeves), take it back to alter ourselves.
An item such as a bodysuit, especially open back one might be somewhat ill fitting right out of the bag regardless of all measurements being correct and it's just nobody's fault, it just requires local alterations. Posture alone is important for those, the arch of the back is important for those - those things can only be assessed during a real life fitting, as well as body asymmetry too. Sometimes brides send us their right and left measurements and they differ greatly - but actually we cannot address that. We will make the garment symmetrical, based on the larger side and the rest should be dealt with locally during a fitting. This is normal and should be expected.
We are always happy to advise on where we think a nip or a tuck should occur on your garment, or how to fix a specific issue (a bunching back, for example), so please ask anytime, send photos and we will provide assistance before you head to the local tailor, so you have some idea on what you're asking for once you get there.
I hope this answers the question what we are and are not liable for in regards of fit and how to address it with us. In any case - we ask you to kindly have your expectations realistic - local alterations should overall be expected when a top is involved in the purchase. Please do account for an extra 200 USD or so for them when purchasing a two piece wedding dress online without a single fitting.
Skirts alone are very unlikely to need alterations, and if they do, it's as simple as taking it in and hemming it. But we do not advise to add "extra for the length just in case", because if you do - you will have to have it hemmed, and some skirts have gorgeous hidden seams or ombre at the bottom and you would be doing it at the expense of those features.
COLOR INFORMATION/DISCLAIMER
Regarding color matching to items from other shops: the only way to guarantee that we make an exact matching garment (be it ivory, white, or another color) to another garment made elsewhere is to mail us a real life sample or that garment itself, that would safely be returned to you together with it's 100% matching other half. Please do not order our "ivory" to match other shops "ivory" without prior consultation - it is not guaranteed that everyone's "ivory" is the same exact matching shade, everyone may have different ones. The ivory we use is light and sometimes more likely to match another vendors "off white" than a true, deeper, more yellow ivory.

Well beyond my expectations! The contact with Inge was very professional and reassuring to get the best possible result. I loved being able to browse photos of other creations of her on fb and insta to see the shapes and colours I liked. Inge's blog is so useful for going deeper into the selection and her live advice is spot on. Reading the comments, I was expecting great quality, but it clearly exceeded my expectations! The colours are mind-blowing, the fabric is delicate, very soft and perfectly sewn. It feels like expensive fabric, just like the wedding dresses in the shops, with impeccable finishing touches. Nothing to complain about, it's ultra professional. You feel like a princess and the measurements are perfectly respected, which suits me like a glove. I'm in love with this two-piece dress.

The dress is beautiful and the craftsmanship is exceptional. Dulcinea worked with me to identify the color combo that would work best for my dress, the instructions for measuring were detailed and easy to follow. Really, really beautiful and highly recommended!
