The Dress

This is an absolutely gorgeous wedding dress, I love it to pieces! I bought it in a boutique in Montreal, Canada for my wedding in 2016.

The dress is covered in intricate lace applique, which beautifully emphasize the lines and shaping. It is a deep vintage ivory, with a lustrous satin underlay to bring out the lace detailing. The train is absolutely magnificent- this is the perfect dress for someone who wants a generous train as a main feature. There are four layers in the skirt- the lace & net overlay, a gorgeous satin underlay, a lining and a stiff tulle petticoat. The bodice has a sweetheart neckline, cap sleeves and a scooped back. The bodice is fitted all the way through the hips, and is fully lined and boned for support. It is a gorgeous dress, the fabrics are beautiful, and it is really well made.

In terms of wear and tear, there are several very small holes in the net which won't get any worse as net doesn't fray, and one of the cap sleeves has come away a bit at the front armpit and needs to be stitched back down. I figure it isn't worth re-attaching the sleeve before selling because that would be the spot to do any alterations on the strap length. Please let me know if you would like pictures of either of those things to show to a dressmaker for repairs etc. I have had it professionally cleaned (not dry-cleaned, as it can do more harm than good!) and it is looking lovely.

This is an absolutely amazing dress, and I'm hoping someone will love it as much as I did. Get in touch if you're interested or have any questions :)

Alterations

I had extensive alterations done to this dress, it looks very different to the original (ALYCE Paris 7967). I had the v-neck made into a sweetheart, the v-back into a scoop and the straight straps into caps. The bodice was fitted perfectly to me, and also the front part of the skirt was hemmed to the right length for me. (As the lace applique has already been lifted on the front of the skirt, it will be a lot easier to do it a second time. Worth noting because this is very time-consuming so can be very expensive to have a dress-maker do this for you. It would be substantially quicker and cheaper than normal for this kind of dress if you do need to get it hemmed etc. This also goes for the bodice if it needs any tweaking).

I also had the satin sash altered. It originally had an intricate diamante applique on the front, but I had it taken off because it just wasn't me. I still have it, and will send it if you would like it with the dress. Also, I wanted the sash to be wider so I had it unpicked at the front and folded out to double the width. It looked totally fine, but the back side isn't lined. If it is important to you, I can have it stitched back together to the original width, or if you would like the option of having it wider I will just leave it as-is and you can decide how you want it once you see it.
