The Dress

I never thought I would buy a mermaid dress, but I fell in love with this the moment I tried it on (it was the train!)... it made me feel a million dollars, was a perfect fit and created curves where I thought I had none! ;)

- Bought new from Felicity's Bridal (Martina Liana 'Krissy' style or code 888)

- Amazing Train, and incredible lace & pearl bead detail.

- Made to measure height (I'm 1.66m and wore 11cm heels)

- Practical alterations like bustle + booster cups

- Dry cleaned by Regal Drycleaners + additional bead/loose thread check. Paid $480 for this, have receipt if required - Good as new!

Description:

"Modern, romantic and sexy, this mermaid wedding dress from Martina Liana has it all! The plunging V-neckline of this stunning style is accented with breathtaking lace straps and a sheer, lace-adorned bodice that exudes effortless romance. Soft French lace is paired with soft, textural lace to create bold patterns throughout this lace over Imperial crepe gown that extends from the bodice through the skirt to the hand-placed lace around the front hem and train. Low, sheer cutouts add dimension to either side of this gown before extending to a V-back, accented with illusion tulle, giving the look of floating straps. A mix of pearl and bugle beading add a sophisticated sparkle throughout this style. The back of this mermaid wedding dress zips up beneath pearl buttons."

Alterations

- Bustle option added (a loop was added in to enable the train to tie up with a ribbon for dancing etc)
- Boost cups added into the bust, so you don't need to worry about wearing a bra. These are removable if required
- Deep cut V-neck was stitched together to create a more modest V neckline (this can be unstitched, see photos)
