About the Dress

After searching far and wide, I finally found a designer that perfectly captures the quintessential English style I was after. It was quite a quest, considering my wedding took place in Italy and I now call this beautiful country my home. But hey, my roots are firmly planted in the UK.

So, let me tell you about this stunning gown that truly embodies the best of both worlds. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are unmistakably English, while the luxurious fabrics and elegant design add a touch of Italian flair.

When I discovered this dress, it felt like fate. The classic tailoring and the shimmering silk satin fabrics combine in such a captivating way. It's a gown that pays homage to traditional couture techniques, while still embracing a modern and feminine aesthetic.

The boned canvas corset is expertly crafted to cinch in my waist, creating that coveted hourglass shape. And the full circle skirt? It's a showstopper, enhancing my curves and adding an element of grace and movement.

But what truly sets this gown apart is the skirt's magnificent layers of Silk Satin Faced Organza. It's a sheer delight, with each layer adding a dream-like effect that swirls and dances with every step.

Alterations

I lost a significant amount of weight before the wedding. As a result, I had to have the dress resized from a size 12 to a size 8. As evident from the photos, the dress resizing process did not impact its style and quality. The meticulous alterations transformed it from a size 12 to a size 8 while maintaining every intricate detail.
