The Dress

I purchased this dress for a wedding that unfortunately was canceled due to covid, so I never got to wear it or alter it from the original brides specs. See her original post about it below. I'm hoping someone else might have the chance to wear this lovely dress, I'm going to keep the veil and dress together as a set for the next person. It has stayed in it's garment bag since I purchased and has not been altered or removed. There are a second set of spaghetti straps as well.

ORIGINAL BRIDES POST:
Worn once for my wedding and professionally dry cleaned straight after. It's like new again! It has been stored carefully hanging up in its bag since dry cleaning.

For those who know the Katie May sizing, this dress is:
Bust: Medium
Waist: Large
Hips: Extra Large

I am 165.5cm (5'4") tall, and wore a 7cm (3inch) heel.
I am normally a size AU8 on top and AU9 on bottom. Would fit a size 8-10.

I found the Katie May sizing to be very small which is why I purchased my dress in the sizing above. This is a rare find, as I haven't seen any second-hand Lanai dresses selling in sizes above medium! Great for those with a slightly curvier bottom, or who are worried about buying a too-small dress (as there is more room to have taken in). It only has the slightest wear inside the lining at the train of the dress, and at the unsealed lace edges of hem. These will not be noticeable at all though.

The dress has been professionally altered. Taken in slightly at hips and waist, bustle added, soft bra cups added, and hemmed.

Purchased from The Bridal Atelier in Double Bay. I have been told that they are no longer selling this dress there now.

I would ideally like to sell in person so the new bride can try on, know it fits and is happy! But also happy to post anywhere.

I absolutely loved wearing this gorgeous dress, and felt like a million bucks on my wedding day! My husband and guests were blown away by this stunning dress, and it was perfect for my outdoor wedding in the Hunter Valley. Extremely comfortable, flattering, light and easy to move and dance in. The champagne colour is perfect for anyone who feels the usual white or ivory don't quite suit them.

I wore a cathedral length (99inch) mantilla veil with this dress (paid $109USD). It is ivory with lace scalloping (which is remarkably similar to the lace of the dress!) around the edge. Happy to throw this in free of charge if you purchase the dress.
