The Dress

Suzanne Neville Amerie dress 2022.

This dress is Suzanne Neville's Amerie dress from the Flores collection. Amerie is perfect in its simplicity - the expertly fitted bodice sits below an elegant, slightly off the shoulder portrait neckline, finished with a romantic billowing skirt.

I bought it from Carina Baverstock Boutique for my wedding in July 2022

I am 5 foot 8 and a size 8-10. The bodice has an internal corset, which means it stays in place perfectly and I felt so comfortable throughout the day not having to worry about it slipping. This also gives a really flattering shape. It has a beautiful V-shaped back with delicate buttons and a full skirt but with lots of movement, making it perfect for dancing in.

It is being professionally dry-cleaned. There are some marks on the bottom of the dress from walking around, but as I am very tall 5ft 11 with heels, that anyone shorter can have the dress taken up which would eradicate the marks

I also had a button sewn in so you can bring the train up off the floor for dancing.

I decided to customise the look of my dress by wearing a silk ribbon on the day too, it is sewn onto the front of the dress and you tie a bow at the back, but it would easily be removed.

I absolutely the dress, it has a corset to give you the perfect shape, I was not worried about eating too much as I knew I would be held in place. It is truly a beautiful dress.

Please message me if you have any questions.

Alterations

The straps shortened, bust cups put in as I’m only 32C and shortened at the front but not the length of train.
