About the Dress

This beautiful dress was purchased late 2018 for an April, 2019 wedding in the Pine Forest. I felt completely comfortable and secure in the dress and absolutely loved wearing it. In fact, the original dress (link below) is backless and just stunning, however I found it difficult to get shape around the front of the dress, so I had the ribbon added. I'm sure the loops in the back (for the tie up ribbon) could easily be removed. The dress wasn't taken up at all and was a bit long on me with my low heels on, It would also suit someone a bit taller or who is wearing higher heels. I was a size 6 at the time of the wedding so I’d say the dress is closer to a 6/8 than an 8.

The dress was worn in the forest it did get dirty on the day, however the woman who cleaned the dress did an absolutely amazing job and I haven't been able to find a mark on it! Some of the smaller tulle flower details could do with a bit of a steam perhaps to keep them open after being in the protective bag. The larger three dimensional flowers are all looking perfect.

There are numerous layers of different lace at the bottom which are absolutely gorgeous. This dress is most definitely for someone who loves texture! The tulle flowers and flowing lace are stunning. It also has some clear beading in amongst the lace, and along the straps. However, I'd say the lace, flowers and train steal the show.

Please contact me for more photos or, if you're local, to try on the dress.

Alterations

The alterer created a ribbon from satin matched to the dress. It was added to the back pull the dress in under the bust.
The dress was taken in at the waist making this dress closer to a size 6 than an 8.
The straps were shortened but the alterer left some length on them in case they need to be extended again.
