The Dress

Stunning Customized Alena Leena Bridal ARMERIA Gown - Purchased through The Veil Collective

Such a whimsical yet modern dress which I loved wearing. No need for a bra or shapewear!

I opted for no sleeves although these are included if you prefer, they hook onto buttons on the inside of the bustier under the arm.

Customizations that were made prior to alterations include - removing of band around base of skirt as you see on the website

I also have a 250cm veil purchased through Amelie George with traditional haircomb that worked perfectly with the fabric of the dress.

The dress has been professionally dry cleaned and is delicately packed away.

Alterations

Alterations were made to the length (still include a lovely train which i didn't find annoying during the night at all!) as well as a split on the left leg as you see in the photo. This was lots of fun, but wasn't super obvious even during the walk down the aisle so still modest.

I had the corset taken in to fit my waist changes, usually a size 8. Cups were added as the dress comes without and this area was semi sheer like the waist section of the bust.
