The Dress

This dress is classic and timeless - it is lightweight, comfortable, and SO much fun to wear. I wore the dress during the ceremony and dinner before changing into a second look for the reception.

It is a chiffon bodice with a poly-satin skirt and lining. Although label says size 8 it does come in small so is best fitted for a size 6. There is also a skirt loop which made it much easier to walk around on the day! I had a 2.1m single tier veil made to match by my seamstress and this is included in the price - the comb has pearl beads of different sizes which match the classic style of the dress perfectly.

There are some tiny marks on the train (almost impossible to see unless up close and know where to look!) that the dry cleaner couldn’t remove and on the inside of the bodice where I wore double-sided tape to hold it perfectly in place.

Alterations

The following alterations were made by Kristen at ‘Dressmaking and Such’ (recommended by One Day Bridal):
- lift straps
- altered to fit snug around hips / bum
- sewn in padded cups
- shortened hem. I am 5ft 2” and wore 3.5” heels on the day and it touched the floor perfectly
