The Dress

This is a show stopping bridal gown - the stuff dreams are made of. This is the Madi Lane Kyann strapless in size 12 Ivory/mocha. The corset never needed adjustment but it would fit a variety of size AUD 10-12 easily. The boning and lining in the corset makes it comfortably stretchy and adjustable further if desired. I am usually a 10 in the top and the hips measurement doesn't matter too much as it's A-line. The dress had custom 3/4 sleeves made for it from the vine/floral sheet lace, but these are easily removed. I will include a full metre of additional material of the plain tulle layer of the dress (never used) - which you can make your own sleeves from if so desired. There are four layers to the dress - It is ivory floral sheet lace in an intricate intertwining vine pattern, with sequins in this layer that lend delicate sparkle to the lace, then it has a layer of sparkly tulle, normal tulle and then the mocha satin (a champagne blush colour) underneath. Beautiful buttons at the back cascade to an epic full circle skirt , 75cm train and a stunning A-line silhouette that lends some drama and movement to the dress. The soft stretch charmeuse lining, fitted cups and 14-piece boned bodice is very comfortable. As mentioned I'll send the extra metre of plain tulle as there is a myriad of options to then customise the dress or go back to sleeveless. The wedding was March and the dress has been professionally cleaned and is boxed in a preservation box. Please note it does not come with the very thin belt I wore. I absolutely adored my dress and hope someone else does too.

Alterations

Hemmed at the front, added a bustle in the middle of the back under the buttons, and attached three quarter lace sleeves. These could be sewn over stockinette if you want to wear them removed from the dress, or if you don't want them they will be easily removed entirely. The front of the dress was hemmed a little (I wore low shoes and am tall), but the back/skirt was never touched because it's awesome.
