The Dress

The 'Farrow' gown from the Fall 2018 Laure de Sagazan collection. I purchased this beautiful gown from Carte Blanche Bride in Melbourne, Australia. And after waiting many long months until the sample finally arrived from France, it was love at first sight.

It is a beautiful, creamy, soft silk fabric skirt with a guipure type lace top. Intricate finishings with long pleats on the back of skirt and a delicate embroidered waist. The sleeves are a flattering midlength, great from any time of year. The delicate details on the back of the dress create a stunning look as you walk down the aisle.

I am usually a size 8 to 10, though the dress can be easily altered to fit slightly bigger or smaller. The dress was so comfortable to wear all night and can be worn easily with any bra as I did (bra clips were added to the shoulders during the alterations so bra straps do not fall down). The dress is in perfect condition following dry-cleaning from a specialist wedding dress cleaner (certificate provided).

Alterations

The dress was altered by one of the best in Sydney, Joanna at Sew Special.

The dress was hemmed by a few cms only (I am 175cm tall). It was also taken in at the waste. The arms were a bit tight for me so Joanna was able to add some of the left over lace from the hem to the inside of arms to create a looser look and allow for better movement. This can easily be removed to return it to the original fit. Bra clips were added to the shoulders so if a bra is worn the straps do not slide down.
