The Dress

This wedding dress is called Liv it was purchased in Love Spell Design boutique in London. I bought it because I was looking for a natural, light-feel, boho-like dress. Our wedding was in a barn in the Cotswolds, the dress suited the theme perfectly. I think it would look great in any rustic, country or romantic setting.

The dress is ivory, but in natural light I’d say it’s closer to off white. The length of the dress is for a height of 5’7 with 3 inch heels. It has a buckle to lift the train for the evening party, by hooking it on a button from the inside of the dress at the lower back. It gives the dress an alternative (and more practical) look with an effect of the dress “pouring out” from the back.

It has been professionally cleaned and pressed. It looks like new, with a few minor tulle fabric splits at the bottom side/back of the dress (this is only noticeable when looking very closely at it, and could be removed entirely if the dress was to be shortened).

I am based in Berkshire, close to Marlow (nearest TFL is Maidenhead on Elizabeth line).

I’ve felt beautiful and comfortable in this dress throughout the day. I would love for the dress to go to another wedding and to be enjoyed by someone else again.

Alterations

Shortening the length, lifting the arms up and removing clips from detachable short sleeves. Material from these was used to add more embroidery after taking in some of the material around the bust and back. Bust cups were replaced for a larger size. Despite the dress looking and feeling light, it has a good support from its body design and lining.
