The Dress

Madi Lane Kinsley bought summer 2023. I tried to find it secondhand myself and couldn't so I bought it new. Offering it now so someone else can buy it at a discount instead :) link is here for all the details- the bow attachment is also included in the sale https://madilane.com/product/kinsley-2/

I wore this for my wedding day, it is in good order but needs a dry clean before being worn again as the train dragged on the ground. I changed into a different dress for the party so no sweat or drink on it! If you are short you could just take up the bottom a few inches to get rid of most of the marks. I am 5ft 8 and wore 3 inch heels so there is plenty of length for alterations and I did not hem the train at all. The back is sheer, as is part of the front. It felt sleek and modern and the asymmetric sheer sections gave it a bit of a twist.

There is also a detachable shoulder bow which is included although I didn't wear it on the day. One of the small plastic poppers which attaches it is broken but this could be easily repaired or ignored if you also don't want to use the shoulder attachment. You will be able to see examples if you search for Madi Lane Kinsley.

Alterations

A bustle has been added at the back. There is a split which you could easily move up or down. Please note this was a size 12 I had altered down to fit me so I have listed as an 8 as that's my usual size. Please consider your waist measurement in particular before deciding if it will fit.

Fit

I wear 32DD and found this fine on the bust but the waist was tight- I was about a 26 inch waist on the day. If you are interested I can provide further measurements of the dress as needed. The hips had plenty of space so fine if you are more pear shaped.

Collection can be arranged from Cambridgeshire PE28, East London E17 or Devon TQ12 and trying on may be possible if we can match diaries! Shipping can be discussed.

Alterations

Bustle added
Split lowered approx 3 inches
Size reduced from 12 to approx 8
Hem raised slightly at the front only (about an inch). It was floor length for me (5ft 8 + 3 inch heels/ so 5ft 11 or 180cm height total)
