The Dress

Gorgeous 'Ballina' wedding gown from CHOSEN by One day, purchased from Paper Swan Bride Christchurch (invoice available on request). The dress is made out of an extremely thick stretchy French georgette crepe fabric, has a beautiful low back and a plunging neck line that is extremely flattering. It was super comfy and easy to wear on my wedding day. I had the straps shortened slightly and a small amount of boning added in around to bust to allow extra support. Dress comes boxed, as was received after being dry cleaned .

Over $500 spent on fine garment dry cleaning following our wedding in January 2021 and the dress has come up very well, just some very minor marks along the bottom of dress and straps, but barely visible once on.

From the KYHA Studios website:
Sleek timelessness. A classic fitted silhouette created in Chosen by KYHA's signature bonded georgette fabric, Ballina cuts a modern figure. The deep v neckline includes a plunging low back, transitioning into a gentle fit and flare skirt. Ballina is perfectly paired with a statement veil or earrings for added drama.

Alterations

Straps shortened slightly and some boning added around the bust area (could be removed), but adds extra support.
