The Dress

This dress is the Operetta Wedding Gown by Suzanne Neville. Hand made to order in London with Italian textured fabric, it features a corset top, bustle and long floor length train. Suzanne Neville is a leading European designer of bridal and evening wear, known for her fabulous corsetry.

The dress was made to a UK size 14 and tailored to a size 13, the brides dress size is a UK 12. The bride is 6 foot (183cm) tall, and wore 2inch heels and the dress did not need any altering on the length. The bride chose to have boob cups sewn into the corset instead of wearing a bra, but that is entirely up to the wearer to decide. The boob cups are simply tacked in and can be easily removed or re-adjusted.

(Please note, it is recommended that you make an appointment with a seamstress experienced in wedding dresses, who will tailor the dress to fit your measurements. This would be done if you were to buy the dress new from a wedding dress shop. The length of the dress is a particular advantage, as it the bride was very tall, so the dress is quite long and can be brought up as required. The dress is also very forgiving on the hips because of the style.)

This dress was worn once on January 2023 and has been professionally cleaned by wedding dress specialists Terrington Burchette and stored in a preservation box which it will be shipped in.
