The Dress

I purchased this dress from Still White to wear for my overseas wedding in 2020 however, Covid happened and unfortunately forced us to change our wedding plans completely.
This dress has only been worn by the original bride, the original description is as follows:

This stunning handmade dress by the extremely talented Melbourne designer Vasiliki Couture was inspired by designers such as Pallas Couture and Berta.

I wanted a modern, sophisticated yet sexy look with the low-cut sweetheart neckline.

I am usually around a size 10 although I lost weight coming up to the wedding so I would say this stunning dress is an 8-10 AUS size.

The stunning fabric was purchased from D'Italia in Malvern. Of course, I have expensive taste and ended up with the newest and most expensive styles!

The boned fitted bodice is made from a stunning beaded French silk lace.
The design of the beaded silk is modern, and this is what caught my eye.
Purchased from the same warehouse in France where Pallas Couture gets her material from, the feel of the dress is of utmost high quality.
The designer used applique (lace is hand cut and sewed onto the bodice).
To create a sexier look, I had the cleavage line quite low with a skin colour mesh to hold it together.
The designer added some great padding to the bust (which can also be removed), no bra was needed on the day.

The fitted high waisted skirt is made from Scuba which is a very similar fabric to Crepe as this is what I originally wanted. Scuba was a higher end, thicker version in a way. It was extremely flattering on the figure.
The Scuba was thick but not too hot to wear. I got married in Bali and it was perfect! The designer also applied appliqué at the front and also the lower back outlining the white buttons.

The train has a cut out section where the beaded silk was appliquéd on for a bit of sparkle.

Super comfortable to wear on the day, I loved this dress!

The dress has been professionally dry cleaned, no stains even on the train.

There is a tiny hole in the skin coloured mesh where the cleavage line is however, this can easily be removed and a new piece of fabric added if you wish.

I also have a bag of offcuts of the fabric used, so if you wanted to add sleeves or adjust the size you can.

I have a few more images I can send from the original bride if you wish to see them.

There is a small section of the beading on the bust which fallen off however, an alterations person can easily sew more beads on. Happy to send a photo of this for reference.
