The Dress

The dress is 3 layers of material- an ivory lining that gives the base colour, a tulle layer and a beaded tulle layer to give it a subtle sparkle. It has a corset bodice with boning and sheer material in between. It is sheer around the ribs and back but has sewn-in, beige coloured cups. I have an A-cup bust which fit appropriately with the dress cup size but there would be adequate room for a larger bra size.

It was so comfortable to wear for the whole day. Whether it was for the ceremony, walking over hills for pictures, sitting and eating heaps of food at the reception or dancing all night I felt comfortable and never restricted. I liked that it flattered my figure and gave me an elegant, feminine silhouette. I wanted a dress that didn’t show my belly button outline or felt too tight and this was perfect. I felt so beautiful and confident in this dress.

There is a very small amount of tulle that has been pulled on the rear of the dress-happy to send pictures of this if needed. It’s not noticeable when wearing the dress as it’s at the bottom of the dress. Otherwise, it’s been dry cleaned and had no wear and tear from being worn on the actual wedding day.
