The Dress

High square necked gown with plunging deep low V back detail accentuating the waist. A reverse V under bust seam is lightly embellished with seed beads. Can be worn with the Ayla silk chiffon Watteau train - I wore the train instead of a veil for the ceremony, and removed it for the reception afterwards.

I bought this dress from Bluebell Bridal as part of a Savannah Miller trunk show. It is otherwise not stocked anywhere in Melbourne. It was made to order (the label says size 8 but I would say it was closer to an AU 10), and I then had it altered through Bluebell to fit me.

I absolutely loved this dress - it is simple and understated yet very elegant. I am still receiving compliments over 12 months after our wedding. It was incredible to wear on the day. I would love for another bride to feel the same way in this dress!

The dress has been dry cleaned and came out like new. There may be some very minor wear and tear - Bluebell sewed in some loops for a bustle, most of which came apart on the night (without damaging the rest of the dress), which would be very easy to replace. I didn't notice any other flaws when inspecting the dress post dry clean.

Alterations

Altered to fit my measurements - brought in at the bust, waist and hips. Straps were shortened slightly, and the front hem was brought up.
