The Dress

The Dress

Layers of delicate silk make this an effortlessly stunning french couture wedding dress.
Made of silk satin chiffon, the Hyppolite dress features a V-Neck collar, fine braces, and a deep neckline in the back. The only place the dress is well-fitted is at the hips (drop waist style with a zip in the back). The drape across the front makes it very flattering. The dress is lined with crepe and silk pongee.

Fits beautifully and is incredibly comfortable.

This dress has been used twice. I bought it used last year for my wedding. Before that, it was originally bought from The Mews Bridal in London.

I only wore the dress for my ceremony and then changed into another dress for the reception, so very little wear.
The dress fits most snuggly at the smallest part of the waist (26.5in).
It was professionally dry cleaned but there are some small catches in the silk (incredibly delicate material), and a small hole at the very end of the tail - mostly in bottom lining). I added photos of these small defects and am happy to answer any questions.

Fun fact: this dress is inspired by the green dress Keira Knightley wore in Atonement.

Alterations
Shortened the straps slightly (so that they don't go anywhere). I also added a bustle (three parts) although I never ended up using it since I just swapped dresses at my reception.
