The Dress

My absolute dream dress! In immaculate condition with all beading intact.

This dress was so comfortable on and a pleasure to wear. You'll get so many compliments on the exquisite beading and back detail. It's just the right mix between elegant and effortless with a bohemian feel.

There are more than 8 different types of beads and sequins, which catch the light in the most subtle ways as the lighting changes throughout the day (our photographer commented on how beautifully it photographed in low-light conditions). Each bead is individually hand sewn on, which also means that the beads are difficult to loosen- the dry cleaner said she rarely sees a dress in such pristine condition after a wedding. I got it cleaned with a recommended dry cleaner and any of the small marks on the bottom were removed. It's as gorgeous as it was on the day I collected it!

I'm 5ft 9in and wore 3in heels so there is plenty of room for the dress to be taken up if necessary. The dress is a label size 12 but I usually wear a size 10-12. The only alterations were just under a centimeter off the length and a tiny nip in at the waist.

I would love to see the dress go to another bride who will treasure it as much as I did rather than have it sitting in a wardrobe!

If you'd like to see more pictures, I'd be happy to send some on.

Alterations

A centimeter off the length and a tiny nip in at the waist. Ivory ribbon bustle loops sewn in on the inner lining to allow you to bustle the dress in the evening or carry the train.
