The Dress

Selling this beautiful Martina Liana dress (style 1137) which I wore to my wedding at the end of August 2023.

The colour way of the dress is ivory (lace) / honey beige (layer underneath) / porcelain (tulle underneath), as shown in the photos.

I have had the dress dry cleaned - the video is of it’s current state, after dry cleaning. The dress is in perfect condition, worn only for a few hours before I changed into my second dress.

Martina Liana website: Delicately beaded shoestring straps extend from the V-neckline into the wide open back, forming a small keyhole feature at the base. The V-sides complement the plunging neckline and sheer bodice, showered in delicate laces featuring a mix of vine-like and floral patterns. The relaxed A-line silhouette features layers of sequin and beaded tulle which lay closer to the figure, while a wide tulle overlay gradually widens toward the back—complete with carefully placed lace appliqués for rich dimension, stunning texture and a dramatic bridal finish.

Alterations

I bought this dress as a UK/AUS size 12. I had the dress altered closer to a AUS size 8. I am an 8 on top and between an 8 and 10 on bottom. Most of the alterations were to bring in the bust and waist and I had the cups changed for smaller ones. I got the length shortened slightly and three of the six skirt layers removed as I was getting married in the middle of summer. I am 169cm (5'6) and wore 10.5cm heels with my dress. Finally, I had three ribbon loops added to the train to easily carry it.
