The Dress

"The Marley V-neck bridal gown is as chic as she is simple. The classic fit and flare silhouette effortlessly flatters your curves, and the bodice tapers up to a delicate spaghetti strap to highlight your shoulders beautifully. The open back gives way to a chiffon tie that lends a dramatic finish to this modern gown."

This dress was perfect! It was simple but had a lot of impact, and definitely a flattering dress - heard nothing but praise (although who's going to tell a bride they don't look good, I guess!). Was absolutely perfect for our garden-party vibe outdoor wedding, but would also suit a really chic city wedding as well.

Really comfortable and didn't feel heavy at all; the fabric is beautiful and the chiffon tie was just enough embellishment while still keeping things really simple and chic. Definitely suited my more minimalist tendencies while still feeling incredibly special - I couldn't have been happier with it, and hope it will make someone else feel as gorgeous on their big day as I did!

(Has been dry-cleaned; the last three photos that are clearly not professionally taken were after cleaning to show how it's looking after the wedding - not a trace of the day left on the dress!)

Shipping would be from Auckland, New Zealand - if you're looking for an estimate let me know and I can give a rough idea of cost. (Happy to organise a pickup within Auckland as well!)

Alterations

Nothing major - spaghetti straps were shortened slightly, a bustle was added, a little taken in on the bust (darts), and two small thread loops added at the back to keep the chiffon tie in place.
