About the Dress

Purchased brand new RRP $5500 from NOA Bridal in Perth. This is a contemporary take on a classic bridal gown. I loved having the split at the front to show off some great shoes and the dress was easy to move and dance in. I opted for no train but the dress still had length at the back and looked elegant- this is a great option if you don’t want a bustle or want to be able to move more freely (I was able to dance).

Worn for my wedding on 18th Nov 2023.
Freshly dry cleaned from Cloud 9 in Perth ($400). There are some minor/slight marks at the very bottom of the dress on the hem and the inside hem that were unable to be removed, hence why this dress has been further discounted (see video). This would not be noticeable. Images featured are all my own.

I am usually an Australian size 8. The bust was still a little roomy. Waist to floor measurement is 110cm. Heels were 9cm.

Alterations

4cm overall taken in at bust side seams. After dry cleaning, one of the side seams unraveled so currently only one side seam has been taken in by 2cm. No fabric was cut so the other side seam is just the original side seam of dress.

Front of hem taken up 5cm

No fabric has been cut so seams/hem can be let out.

$1000 alterations has been spent at Studio Ilka in Perth
