The Dress

I purchased this gorgeous dress for my rehearsal dinner, but alas, UK summer did not cooperate and it was too chilly to wear it. Instead, I wore it once on our honeymoon for a few hours but sadly didn’t get any pics that night!

I had this altered in the back as the waist area above the butt was awkwardly cut and gaping, so I had it taken in by a skilled and professional tailor.

My measurements are bust: 79cm waist: 63cm hips: 90cm and 32C bra size and it fits me well (I can send try on pics upon request), it would not fit someone with a much larger bust/cup size I suspect.

The label size is Zimmermann’s 0 which is a U.S. 4 equivalent bur this style runs smaller than Zimmermann’s typical 0, I would say more like a U.S. 0 or 2 (especially in hips and bust).

Feel free to message with questions or for more pics.
