The Dress

I felt so incredible in this dress and have never received more compliments!

Bought from Blush & Raven in Calgary, AB in November 2023 (picked up in June 2024). Plumeria Alena Leena design but took the lower back and crepe fabric from another dress I liked by the same designer to create a gorgeous custom design with a low back and lightweight fabric that is more forgiving in photos. The dress has a very sexy 90s supermodel vibe but isn’t too revealing.

The fabric is beautiful and lightweight, easy to travel with. This dress came with me to Scotland to elope in the highlands, then back home to Vancouver for an intimate ceremony and reception. It has been professionally dry cleaned at Busy Bee cleaners and is waiting in its original garment bag for its next beautiful bride!

This dress also comes with two veils: one is a cape-style that effortlessly hooks into the underside of the straps, giving you stunning dramatic photos; the other is a classic style that is flush with the train length when worn at the crown of your head.

I usually wear a size medium or 6/8 in my regular clothes and my bust is a D34, waist 27/28. I had the most phenomenal help to get this fit to my body from tailor Joanna Delany and I highly recommend her for any brides in Vancouver.

Please reach out, I am happy to share more photos and original purchase proof for authenticity.

Alterations

The dress was let out slightly for comfort, straps shortened, and bust adjusted for the perfect fit. All the usual nips and tucks.
