About the Dress

As described on Alena Leena website, 'The Nolina gown is all about lightness and airiness. It features a delicate crinoline bustier with a modern statement geometric cut-out to draw the eye. Intricate drapery cascades across your body, forming a short wrap skirt on top of the full-length skirt. The romantic draping continues in the off-the-shoulder Juliette sleeves with the fastening strings smoothly accentuating the shoulder line and the arms. From head to toe, the Nolina gown breathes with effortlessness and sheer joy.'

I felt incredible wearing my wedding dress and got so many compliments. The sleeves and neckline of the dress are just gorgeous and so unique, like nothing I could find anywhere else. The dress is really comfortable too.

Alterations

The dress was altered to fit me as I had lost some weight since the first fitting.

It was taken in at the bodice and hips, and the hem was shortened. Sleeves are normally detachable, but I had them sewn on to stop them coming loose - I'm sure this could easily be undone if you wanted the sleeves to be removable.
