About the Dress

This stunning lace ball gown with detachable sleeves is the dress I wore for my wedding and now I’m choosing to sell to make someone else’s dream a reality! The craftsmanship that went into this dress is second to none and is very on trend with more and more celebrities opting for lace wedding gowns. There are layers of tulle and lace under the skirt to give the ball gown effect and it has the most stunning train which will leave most speechless. There are straps under the train to enable you to carry it while dancing. It has delicate buttons on the back but is actually fastened via poppers, zip and clasp for support and less hassle!
The sleeves are detachable and are also fastened via poppers, I kept them on most of the day and they didn’t come loose once. I had the bodice enhanced with boning for extra support and structure to really pull in my waist. It also has cups built in so no need for a bra.
This dress retails at £3000 but I would love to sell this to someone at a much reduced rate so they can have the dress of their dreams.
It was professionally cleaned before my wedding and has been professionally cleaned since.
I still have all of the off cuts from alterations.
I am 5 ft 2 and I wore enormous heals and there was still excess fabric on the bottom so if you are taller than me it’s likely it will still need taking up.
I am size 12 - 14, the dress was ordered to fit a size 12 and fit snugly.
The dress is ivory with a nude undertone to the fabric underneath the lace, I was worried it would look pink but in the photos it looks beautifully white/ ivory.
The dress is very heavy due to all of the layers of fabric on the skirt, however I wore it with sleeves for my June wedding in 25 degree Celsius and I didn’t break a sweat. It’s perfect all year round for both summer and winter weddings
