The Dress

Vivienne is made of gorgeous Mikado Silk and Silk Drill Satin, has a corseted bodice and a strapless neckline. Two long pieces of silk wrap around to create a beautiful statement bow at the back. A thin waistband gives an A-line full skirt. The back buttons down the length of the dress are pearls. Further details include its deep pockets and a high split.

I found the dress to be extra special as I wore it two ways on our wedding day - with the bow tied around my arms to create an off-shoulder effect for the ceremony/day time, and then retying the bow to sit under my arms for a strapless look, which was perfect for an evening on the dance floor!

I purchased Vivienne at White Lily Couture in Brisbane. It has been dry cleaned and is in perfect condition, with no signs of wear and tear.

Dress measurements:
- Length front neckline to front hem is 138cm
- Length of back from top to hem (train) is 174cm
- Waist band is 38cm across
(My height is 167cm & I wore 5cm heels)

Alterations

I had a bustle added, an invisible clip added at mid-thigh (to provide some modesty from the high split), as well as having the length adjusted. I also had the bodice taken in slightly, so have included the waist dress measurement above.
