The Dress

A signature dress from Stella York, this ballgown wedding dress would be a classic style for any bride-to-be! Lace and tulle over regency organza fabric come together to create a traditional silhouette for the modern bride.

Purchased from a boutique for £1,090. This design is still current on the Stella York website. (Model pictures here too) https://www.essensedesigns.com/stella-york/wedding-dresses/6690/

Hoop: I can throw in the hoop that I wore with the dress to make the skirt appear more full however the dress can be worn without a hoop for a more “boho” or flowing look.
I have not had the dress dry cleaned as it was not soiled on the day, the bottom is just a little dusty from the gravel so would be good as new with a dry clean. I can arrange for a quotation to have the dress dry cleaned before sending to you if you would prefer the dress to be cleaned before receiving it.
I bought this dress 4 months after having my daughter and felt a million dollars in it. I was worried I wouldn’t get the “bridal” feeling in any dress but it held me in and flattered in all the right places.
It would really make me happy to know my beautiful dress made somebody else feel just as amazing on their big day.

Alterations

Alterations:

The label size is a 14 however I had the dress altered to make it smaller after losing weight before my big day so it is now a size 10. The corset back can be done up tighter to make the dress smaller or loser to allow a bit more room.
I had the little tie sewn in so that the train can be tied up for dancing and enjoying the rest of the day.
The length was also altered to make it easier to walk in (I am 5ft 6), however I think I could have done with a little bit more off to be honest as was still quite long at the front.
