The Dress

This unique three-piece bridal gown consists of a white bustier and white skirt from Wendy Makin Bridal Designs, with an Anna Campbell 'Florence' topper worn over the bustier.

The topper is adorned with intricate ivory and pearl-toned beads and diamantes in art deco style patterning. The topper clasps at the back through 7 hidden metal hooks. The bustier clasps at the back through one metal hook and buttons, and has two ribbon loops at the bottom which hold the skirt in place. The skirt is A-shape with a modest train, lightly scalloped at the hem. Bustles have been added at 2 points inside the skirt for 3 different wearing options.

I am an Australian street size 6 up top and bottom size 8, the bustier has soft internal wiring which held up around the bust without needing a bra. Height-wise, I am 172cm tall and wore flats on the day, with the skirt hem skimming the floor.

The dress has not been altered - it has been worn a total of 3 times and dry-cleaned promptly after each wear (receipts available). There has been a tiny bit of pilling on the sides of the bustier, however, this is only visible up close and only when not worn with the topper.

The dress was very comfortable to wear for a whole day. I particularly loved the reference to vintage styles without being too conservative given the sheerness of the top and slight midriff.
