SIZE:
The dress was purchased from Kavelle in Edinburgh and was made to measure. I've listed my dress size as a 12 but I have a small waist so this would be good for size 10/12. The only fitted part is the top of the dress (bust and waist) as it flows out from the waist. Bra size is 34D but would easily fit a few sizes either way. This dress could also easily be altered to fit you.

LENGTH:
It was cut to my height of around 5 foot 8 (wearing flat Valentino rock stud shoes).

CONDITION:
The dress is in fantastic condition. It has been dry cleaned at a cost of £200. There is a small tear in the top layer of tulle where the dress was bustled which has been repaired. If you are interested in the dress, get in touch and I'll send further photos/videos.

WHEN DID I WEAR IT?
I wore it on 24th June 2017 for my wedding at Blackcraig Castle in Scotland. I had lots of compliments as it is a very unique dress especially due to the cappuccino shades. We had an outdoor ceremony in a walled garden and guests said it kept sparkling in the sunlight which was magical. I absolutely love this dress and honestly felt like a princess on the day. I wish I could swish about it in all day every day. I will be heartbroken to sell it but I really don't want it to waste away in a box in my house. I would absolutely love for another bride to wear it and feel as special as I did!
