About the Dress

I fell in love with this dress the moment I tried it on! The dropped waist paired with the full skirt on this dress was just so flattering!! I honestly felt like a princess all day!

The description of the dress directly from the website: Romantic ballgown wedding dress with low waist. A dress that pairs a full skirt made of layers of tulle with a fitted sweetheart bodice and low back in Chantilly with thread embroidery and beaded appliqués. A very elegant and sensual dress.

This was ordered as a UK 10. It has been taken up slightly (as they always arrive way too long) and I also had it taken in slightly at the back, both on the inside corset straps (not visible, it’s an interior bodice part - like a thick bra strap) and also along the bodice line of the actual dress to fit the bust - I would say it is more like an 8 due to that. There has also been a small loop added to hold the train of the dress up later in the evening so you can dance more easily!!!

The blue band around the middle of the dress was a ribbon which I tied around my waist (it was not attached in any way and does not come with the dress). I did also try it with a small sparkly belt and no belt and both look equally as nice.

The dress has been dry cleaned and boxed professionally so it’s beautifully stored. I also have the La Sposa bag and hanger that it came with. There are some slight stains around the bottom of the dress which would not come off with the dry cleaning (sign of a good party!!) but I am 5 ft 8 in and I wore 85mm heels so I think most people would need to have this taken up, so that would remove those stains in the process. The style of the dress means it’s 'simple' (despite the fact there are so many layers to alter!!) to take up as there is no detail at the bottom so it can just be altered to fit your height.

Let me know if you have any questions and/or if you would like to make an offer, I really hope this dress can be used again - it’s too beautiful to be stored in a box forever!
