About the Dress

Beautiful modern ball gown that needs to be worn again! Mikado bodice that flattters the shape and no need for a bra! The ball gown skirt has lots of beautiful tulle layers and you just feel like a princess as soon as you put the dress on!

I had the dress altered but only in length as it was super long, I’m 5.8 inches and wore very low shoes. If you are a similar height or shorter and want to wear a higher heel this will save you a lot of money as I paid £330 to have the dress shortened, it was shortened from the waist so there is no change to the style.

Lightly stitched in padded cups ( by my seamstress) I lost some weight off of my chest last minute.

Beautiful light ivory colour which is really flattering as the white can make you look washed out, I felt amazing in the dress all day - mainly worn inside apart from a few photos in the gardens.

Professionally cleaned by a bridal specialist, some soiling right at the bottom of the under skirt that can’t be seen - lots of layers of tulle cover this otherwise excellent condition.

I’m a high street size 12 or M but was advised to buy the size 16, The dress was ordered in July 2021 and received in May 2022, I did try the sample 14 and it fitted pretty much the same apart from the waist was tighter. I had an under skirt on at first as advised by the bridal boutique but took it off after I walked down the isle as the dress didn’t need it and was easy to walk in.

The dress has been in an antibacterial box since cleaning, also has the original dust bag from the bridal boutique.
