The Dress

Hayley Paige 'Harley' bridal gown from Fall 18 collection- Ivory striped organza ball gown, draped sweetheart neckline and removable off-the- shoulder sleeve, pleated ball gown skirt with slit, corset cut out detail at back.
So hard for me to sell this dress as it made me feel a million dollars but we live in a London city flat with little storage and a baby on the way so its time for it to make another bride feel amazing on her special day. The fit is so flattering, accentuating the smallest part-the waist and flowing over the hips and bum. The added slit, which you see when you walk was an amazing feature and not something I had seen before, it balanced out the volume of the skirt perfectly. The striped pattern was also a unique factor which looked amazing in the photographs where the silk shone in the light. You wont find this dress on any other second had websites as its only just out this Spring!
Another unique factor was the fact you could detach the shoulder straps, I wore these for the first part of the day but was able to remove them for the dancing and arms in the air actions!
The dress in our photos received a lot of attention online and Hayley Paige herself even posted an image of me and my husband on instagram on 20 Jan 20 (go check in out)!!
I am 5.5 and wore some very large platform shoes on the day (5inches) so i didn't need the length shortening so this means it will fit taller women. I was a size 10, smaller ten on top, 10-12 on bottom, I had the dress taken in at the waist to fit me a week before the wedding, if you live in London I can recommend the bridal dress maker who works in the central London wedding dress boutique I bought the dress from to fit you into the dress & fit your shape, she was fab! She also added a bustle so I could dance in the evening, (see last image for this) I have many more photos so contact me if you would like to see more images. Dress has been dry cleaned and looks brand new! I can also sell my Veil if this is of interest too.

Alterations

I had the waist taken in and I also had a bustle made so the dress could be hitched up in the evening to dance, she did this in two parts so you also get this included in the price but at the same time if you want to keep it down you can as the ties are all underneath and inside the skirt.
