The Dress

Hera Couture is cherished internationally by brides who appreciate timeless design and luxurious quality.

"The Caccini" (this dress) is an original Katie Yeung, Hera Couture dress. The bodice has a classic sweetheart neckline overlaid with a translucent, hand-beaded cape sleeve. The resulting silhouette is a nod to 1930’s glamour and is sophisticated and unique*. Caccini’s contrasting tea rose lining is made of stretch jersey for comfort and fit. The overlay drapes softly and beautifully slightly at the waist, and then nips in to give you definition and shape. The mesh skirt shimmers with beaded detailing that catches the light which makes it just magical.

This dress is complimentary for any figure and very comfortable (with hidden elastic for the waist, hidden zipper over the buttons on the back). You also don't need to iron or steam it as it doesn't crush. Perfect for travelling which we had to, and all set to go when you're ready.

It's been dry cleaned by wedding professionals and in a garment bag.
I am a regular Size 12 (Australian).

Alterations

I loved this dress so much that I had it altered from size 18 to 12 to fit me (we had no time, my mum was very ill so we rushed the wedding so she could make it). The bridal shop only had one dress and it wasn't a sample - they knew about my mum and they let me have the only one they had in Australia*.

The waist has hidden elastic which helps if you loose or put on weight in the process, and the overlay drapes over it beautifully. So if your waist isn't exactly the same as mine, there is give. I have also added in a button on the back so that the train can be safely and comfortably be put up and away. I danced all night with it up! We also added a hand ribbon loop underneath so that you can hold the dress and train up around your wrist and walk easily, as an alternative.
