The Dress

About the Dress: This 1950′s tea length dress features a beautiful lace bodice with lace appliqués layered over tulle for a sheer effect. Pretty beading on the neckline. The waist is emphasised with a thin satin belt with a pretty flower presented to one side. A zip-up back to the bra line then finished with buttons on the sheer tulle up to the top of the neck. The neck tulle is in Ivory.

Why I Love the Dress: It was so incredibly comfortable and I was able to wear it all day. I could stand, sit and dance in it. Everybody commented on how beautiful it was. We had an 'afternoon tea' themed wedding, and it was the perfect dress.

How I Accessorised: I wore small high heels for the ceremony and then changed into glittery pink trainers for the rest of the day (FYI - I am 5ft5). I didn't need to wear a necklace, thanks to the beading across the top. I wore dangly blue earrings and a blue and gold bracelet.

Alterations: No alterations were made to this dress, at all, as I was the same measurements as the size I chose (UK18). Therefore, future alterations could be made.

About the Designer: Brighton Belle collection by True Bride brings you a range of vintage-inspired wedding dresses. Designed in-house at the Brighton studio, this collection is dedicated to tea-length dresses with a retro edge.
