The Dress

I had an absolutely wonderful wedding day in this elegant and classic silk dress. It feels totally beautiful to wear - with its flowy heavy silk skirt, and no fuss style. It's in perfect condition. This is the version of the dress with hand-sewn sequins over the bodice, which give it great texture and make it feel so special.

I bought the dress last year from a woman on Stillwhite who lived just down the road from me! And had such a great experience that I have decided to pass it on to another Stillwhite bride in the hope that you will enjoy it as much as I did.

It was a perfect dress for my relaxed countryside wedding. Because it's a bit shorter I didn't need to worry at all about staining the dress, despite spending the whole day on grass, and it's pared-back timeless style was just what I had been after. The last woman who wore it had a small wedding during Covid and I think that it would be perfect for a more intimate ceremony too.

As it's a true wrap dress it is quite flexible on the sizing. With just a small alteration to the popper button closure on the front of the dress (super simple - my mum did it) it was able to work well for both me - a UK 8/10 - and the previous owner - a UK 10/12. I have included one of her wedding photos so that you can see what it looked like on her too. I think we both look great!

I really hope that someone falls in love with the dress and has as wonderful a time as I did wearing it to your own wedding. I love the idea of it making another big day super special, rather than just sitting in my cupboard.

Alterations

Popper closures have been added on the front of the dress to add some extra security in keeping the wrap closed - these are very easily moved to make it a perfect fit.
