The Dress

I have listed the dress as a size UK12 - but it has been altered and is actually now a 10 on top and a 12 on the bottom.

I bought this dress in a boutique in Ireland in 2022. It is light and very comfortable to wear. There is no padding or support in the chest area so I had cups sewn in and then removed afterwards. They were heavily padded as I am a small A cup.
I was surprised at the amount of compliments I got for the dress. Obviously I loved it but didn’t expect so many other people to love it too. One friend said it was the nicest wedding dress she had ever seen. Others said it reminded them of Brigerton (not something I had noticed previously) and that it was different from other wedding dresses.

Alterations

I had the dress taken up. I am 176cm and the heels of my shoes were 6cm so that is 182cm total. The skirt of the dress skims the floor.
I am a size 10 on top and a 12 on the bottom. So this dress will only fit someone who is that size too (or someone who is a 10 and can get the bottom half of the dress reduced). The skirt part of the dress fit me perfectly -around the hips and waist. The shoulders and chest of the dress were taken in and so are a size 10. I am an A cup but had heavily padded cups inserted in the dress when I wore it(they have been removed since then). So it should comfortably fit someone who is a B cup.
These are the measurements of the dress:
Bust (side seam to side seam, directly under the armhole) 46cm
Waist ( across the narrowest part of the dress) 37cm
Hips (widest part of the dress, across the hip area, from seam to seam) 56cm
Shoulder to hem (from seam at top of shoulder to hem at bottom of dress) 160cm
Waist to hem (from top of waist band to bottom of dress) 123cm
