The Dress

Platinum by Demetrios Atarah Wedding Dress with detachable sleeves (https://www.demetrios.com/en/dresses/wedding-dresses/platinum-by-demetrios/style-dp456-atarah). Purchased from The Sposa Group in Melbourne. I had an ivory underlay instead of the dusty nude shown online.

Illusion neckline and back, with real buttons (not a zip).
Beautiful beaded lace in 'fern/leaves' shapes.
Sleeves are detachable with clear clips and the dress can be worn either with or without the sleeves. I wore mine without sleeves for the reception and with the sleeves for the ceremony.

The dress is in excellent condition and has been dry cleaned by Syndal's in Melbourne. There are no residual marks on the train at all.
No tears to the outer of the dress and beading is in tact.
Bustle was included and is very discreet (5 buttons) - I didn't end up using the bustle as our reception was a sit down dinner only (no dancing).
I'm a size 12 on top / 14 on bottom usually. This could be easily altered to fit a 12 or fit a size 14. My upper arms circumference is 14inches - and the sleeves fit well after their alteration

Despite the long train and beading, the dress is very "light" and not heavy to wear.

Veil is is very minimalist Cosmobella 3 x 4 m in ivory with single row of beading on edges (per photos)- and is sold separately for $400. Veil is also in flawless condition and is attached to veil comb (approx 1m drop for front veil).

Alterations

- Lace placement on sleeves was bespoke per the photos.
- A corset add-on has been included in the front only
- Bust Dart
- boning added in the front (soft boning)
