The Dress

Rebecca Ingram (Maggie Sottero) 'Hope' dress purchased from Fashions by Farina in Sydney November 2016 (for Oct 2017 wedding).

From the website: "Romantic and vintage-inspired, this allover-lace fit-and-flare features an illusion plunging neckline and scalloped edging. A double-keyhole back adds a touch of alluring elegance. Finished with covered buttons over zipper closure.”

Absolutely beautiful fit and a very flattering dress, highlights the booty!!

Marked a size US6 (AU10) but I would say it's more of an AU8 - it's very firm around the hips. I am an average height (165cm) and a 12B bust. There are size B cups sewn into the dress.

This gown is Ivory with a light champagne underlay.

Alterations

A few minor alterations have been made by a professional seamstress at Fashions by Farina:
- The dress was originally very long and was hemmed to my height of 165cm whilst wearing a small heel.
- Two very small loops have been added on the back so the train can be clipped up.
- Bra cups have been added but can also be removed.
- Back clasp extended.

Top elastic loop broken on first button, at back of dress. This can easily be fixed, and this also covers the hidden zipper.
