The Dress

West dress from Blush by Hayley Paige

Beaded wedding dress in ivory with a with deep sweetheart neckline and spaghetti straps. Features low scoop back, sequinned detailing, and fitted skirt with plain hem and chapel train.

The sequins on the dress create subtle sparkles, I had a lot of "wow" and "the dress is amazing" comments on the day. The dress is very comfortable to wear, the pattern and the stretch in the fabric created a smooth, flattering silhouette - no need for shape-wear. The dress was dry-cleaned by a wedding dress specialist straight after the wedding, you wouldn't know it had been worn.

I would love for somebody to have a happy day, as I did in this dress!

Alterations

I'm 175 cm tall and wore 9 cm heels, the length was taken up a little. The dress I ordered was a size 10-12 as I wanted some room through the hips. The bodice was taken in slightly, cups fitted, and the straps shortened. The dressmaker who made the alterations indicated there's a 3 cm allowance throughout the dress to take out if needed.
