About the Dress

I bought this dress from another bride on Still White as it is absolutely beautiful. Like a lot of brides affected by Covid, I have had to postpone our wedding a few times and we are now eloping in April (fingers crossed)! I am gutted I won’t get to wear this dress as I put on some Covid kilos and a size 10. I was a size 6-8 when I bought the dress and we are having more of a relaxed event now. This is the original ad description: The Dress This is a stunning one of a kind Maggie Sottero design. This gown drew so much attention at my wedding for its unique design and the way material flowed and shimmered as I moved (the photos do not do this dress justice). It is an ivory gown with ivory lace and clear crystal beading and sequins which is quite uncommon because it doesn’t have any diamantés on it. I absolutely love the zig zag hem and the intricate beading on the dress is stunning! This dress was very comfortable to wear all day and dance in. I could even do a full dip for my first dance! The dress was also very flattering around the tummy so I could eat and drink all day without worrying. A bustle has been added and the dress locked just as lovely with the train buttoned up. I am an Australian size 6-8 and I’m 5 foot 4 in height (164cm). With heels on the dress just touches the ground at the front. The heels for the wedding were approximately 5cm high. The dress has been professionally dry cleaned and in perfect condition.

Alterations

Taken in to make a size 6 AU and a belt was added. It was taken up to just above floor length and a bustle was added to tie the train up.
