The Dress

The Nikki is an ivory bodice gown featuring a V-neckline and soft draping which continues into the wrap style skirt. It includes long sheer georgette sleeves that are finished with a button cuff.

The material is a stretch fit with centre back zip closure and fully lined with stretch lining. I added in custom buttons that run down the zip on the back of the dress (for look only, non functional).

The Dress was ordered in an AU size 10 (I usually wear an AU 10-12), and was taken in slightly around the shoulders to fit my body more snugly. The dress includes a small train and a thin detachable ivory belt.

The dress has been professionally dry cleaned.

Comes from a smoke free home, with dress bag.

Notes:
- The dress came with a bustle. Throughout the night, one ribbon of the bustle detached, meaning I wore the dress with the train out for majority of the night. Assume a tailor could reattach ribbon to ensure you are able to use the bustle if you desire.
- Photo #6 shows slight mark on the back of dress (circled in yellow) may be able to be removed with another dry cleaning.
- Photo #7 shows slight mark on bottom of dress, this is on the inside of the wrap - not visible from the outside.
- Photo #8 shows slight stain on the underside of the train, not visible from the outside and may be able to be removed with another dry cleaning.

Alterations

- Custom buttons added along the back zip (for look only, non functional)
- Hemming to my height and adding of the bustle at the appropriate height
- Shoulder taken in slightly to ensure the dress fit my chest area tightly
