The Dress

I really struggled to find a dress that I felt myself in, I did not feel comfortable in any dress I tried. I loved the look of this dress and took a massive gamble when I purchased online. I'm so glad I did as I loved this dress so much, I felt so comfortable and had the best night!

Alterations

Alterations I had completed: shortened for my height to be skimming the floor (168cm and wearing 4cm heel), removed some of the sleeve layers so only one remaining for a more modern look, added extra material to the neckline for slightly more chest coverage, removable cups put in so no bra needed, took off the 3 layers of tulle crinoline as I wanted a gown look. I will include the crinoline so you can try it out and see if you want to use it, very easy to put back on!
