The Dress

Selling my beloved Martina Liana wedding dress – the most gorgeous a-line dress with the most intricate detailing. I truly felt beyond incredible on my big day, and received so many compliments on my dress.

Purchased from Angelica Bridal in Angel, London in a size UK12 (US8), but it was altered down to a size UK8-10 (US 4-6) by their partner alterations company, Exclusive Alterations (I'm now a size S, UK8-10 (US 4-6), and 173cm). It comes with a beautiful veil from Britten which is a cathedral-style veil in Italian Tulle with a blusher layer and double-sided minimal pearl scatter. Both are ivory and work perfectly together. It will come packaged together in an Angelica Bridal dust bag.

I wore Amina Muaddi Gilda sandals in white which are 9.5cm high, and highly recommend them together as they worked wonderfully and are so comfortable too.

A couple of very minor little tears towards the end of the tulle – they could be very easily repaired but are not visible as the dress has so much fabric and so many layers, we really had to hunt for them.

RRP £2799, £400 alterations, £200 veil. I can provide original receipts. Professionally dry cleaned.

Alterations

Shortening length (I'm 174cm). Altering the dress to take it from a UK 12 to a UK 8-10, and adding a buckle so I could dance easily. I also asked Martina Liana directly to remove the glitter layer that comes standard with the dress which made it a lot more elegant and subtle, and replace it with a standard tulle layer.
