The Dress

My wedding was on 13th January 2019. This dress was my dream come true and I hope it brings the next bride as much joy, happiness and laughter as it did for me on my special day. It was purchased in September 2018 from a new up-and coming Melbourne designer Julia from 'Julia Bridal' as a one-off design.

The dress is immaculately constructed with a fitted corset top that is boned and tucks you in in all the right places for a beautiful silhouette. The front falls into a deep 'V' that is secured with skin tone tulle that keeps everything in place. It is also padded so no need for a bra. The waistline features beads which have been hand sewn in a vertical pattern and run beautifully towards the shoulders meeting a nude back softly embellished with lace. The dress zips up at the back with a matching nude colour for a perfect fit.

The ruffled train (which is approx. 80cm in length) has been bustled with pearl buttons in 3 places making a stunning shape when pinned up and ready for dancing the night away! If you prefer you may even lift the train via a hidden ribbon hook which has also been added.

The dress is in great condition with no major pulls and no tears and has been dry cleaned.
I also have a little bag of extra beads in case you need to make any alterations.

You will feel truly amazing in this dress. It's a timeless classic that oozes a bit of glamour, sexiness and a pinch of sophistication.

The veil is not for sale - it was loaned to me by my sister.

The measurements for this dress are as follows:
Australian Size 6 Australian - XS

- Bust: 84cm (but you could go slightly bigger as it has wiggle room) - B cup.

- Waist: 69cm (but again has a 3-5cm wiggle room here or there)

- Bum/Hips: 95cm-100cm

- Height: I am 163cm tall and wore 10cm heels on the day

If you need any more photos or you'd like to try the dress on don't be shy to ask :)

Alterations

The straps at shoulders were taken up by 1.5cm but can be let down as the fabric has been folded and not cut. The length has also been altered. I am 163cm (5ft 4) in height and wore 10cm heels with the hemline grazing the floor (please see photos) so plenty of room for someone taller if need be.

I also had 3 bustles sewn in so that the train could be pinned up in a beautiful shape (please see photos attached)
