The Dress

Absolutely beautiful dress that I do not want to waste away in my wardrobe! It is something to be enjoyed more than once. I only wore my dress for about 4 hours in total as it rained on my wedding day so I put my reception dress on a bit earlier than expectedI Dress is completely fine after dry cleaning and did well in the rain. It truly looks like it is brand new!

Dress can come with a garment bag if needed.

Alterations

The original dress was more of a ballgown style skirt with a longer train but I have included a shot of the dress from behind to show I did get some alterations done. I had 2 layers of tulle from the skirt removed to make it more of an A-line fit as seen in the pictures from my wedding. I also had the train dramatically shortened to more of a swoop style which just made it overall way more wearable. I also had a bustle installed. The dress was taken up and with my shoe height included I was 169.5cm height.

I had the buttons removed from the skirt and only left the functional ones over the zip.

I had silicone tape added in for the straps which made the dress so much more comfortable and cannot be seen.

I also had the dress taken in at the top and waist. I am a true size 10AU and have included my measurements and the dress fit me perfectly. The seamstress said I took the dress in approx 1 full size at the top to be equivalent of size 10AU. Cup size fits 10D/12C very well and can be easily replaced by a seamstress if needed.

The alterations made this dress such a comfortable one to wear and made the experience of the dress so much better than when I first picked it up from the shop.
