The Dress

The most gorgeous dress! This A-Line Ballgown Pronovias dress definitely turned heads!

With a gorgeous cathedral length train and a secure zip hidden by decorative buttons and POCKETS!

Ordered and purchased from White Lily Couture store in Brisbane, it will certainly fit from a 14-18 dependent on bust and waist measurements. I am between a 14DD and 16E in bra sizing for reference and this was super comfortable and supportive without a bra as there is boning and cups built in. We paid just over $2,800 for the dress plus alterations and dry cleaning bringing my total investment to almost $4000.

It’s been a hard decision to sell the gown though we hope our daughter one day will enjoy dress shopping for herself and her own style rather than feeling obligated to use my dress if I were to keep it.

This dress has been preserved in a beautiful big box and professionally dry cleaned. Worn only once for the wedding day in June 2022.

Alterations

There were alterations made, a layer of tule was removed to have it less ‘poofy’ (I still have this if you wish to add it back in), additional boning was added to the bust area for additional support along with synching in the bodice at the waist along with usual hemming as the standard dresses are super long. I wore flats on my wedding day and I’m around 166cm tall. Since there is a cathedral length train, three bustles and multiple and loops were added as well.
