The Dress

This is the latest dress out by Australian based luxury Bridal brand - Made With Love, “Harlie” in ivory (with a middle split). It is such a lightweight, delicate, comfortable and very flattering dress for the modern bride. Hand made and hand beaded, the dress has very intricate detailing.
I am usually a size 6 and this dress is labelled as being XXXS.
My measurements are:
Bust: 85cm Waist: 64cm Hips: 90cm Hollow to hem: 144cm Height: 176cm Weight: 55kg Bra Size: 32C

Here is a description from the designer: "Sometimes worlds collide and true magic is made, our Harlie breathes this very magic. From the far land of Israel we sourced her soft and exotic lace. Gracefully combined with new world design, she encapsulates our exquisite signature look. She is modern elegant, sophisticated and carries an air of ancient beauty that your eyes will adore to behold. Her lace has beads hand-crafted by our seamstresses and comes with a middle split with lace edging. She is for the new world bride. She embraces culture and beauty and allows her magic to ignite the hearts of all who see her."

I had so many compliments on my dress at my wedding ~ it really is the most beautiful dress!

Alterations

I spent 1500 dirhams on alterations at The Bridal Showroom in JLT. They did an excellent job! I had the back taken in just slightly, you can't notice it at all and the seamstress did it in a way that is undetectable. I also had a double ‘bustle’ installed at the back so you can hook up the long train (to create a beautiful waterfall effect) so you can move or dance freely. I also had a wrist loop installed so you have the option to hold up the train on your wrist, which shows off the middle slit. I have had the dress professionally cleaned and refereshed at Champion Cleaners and it is in excellent condition.
