The Dress

I bought this dress during the pandemic, and unfortunately after all the lockdowns the sizing ended up being wrong for me so I bought and wore another dress in a larger size. I did go for a fitting with this dress, and they created a bustle at the back using two small, clear buttons (for keeping the train off the floor during the evening).

Please note, because I didn't wear this dress I have no photos of it being worn by a bride, so have included some of the official photos from the Essence of Australia website.

It's a stunning, fitted dress, and I was so disappointed I couldn't wear it (Covid has a lot to answer for!).

Essence of Australia details on the dress:

"Sexy Floral Wedding Dress with Sheer Detail - Floral and fierce, Style D3240 from Essence of Australia is ready to turn heads. A more bold take on our traditional organic styles, this gown kicks it up a notch with a striking sheer bodice - complete with uniquely placed large-scale floral laces for coverage and a mix of pearls, seed beads and bugle beading for a natural texture and shine. The plunging neckline and thin straps are modern and fun, especially as they continue over the shoulders into a double strap feature over the low open back. Finally, the sheer shaped train highlights the flourishing, natural-looking lace patterns which increase in size toward the hem for a gorgeous optical illusion"
