The Dress

My dress was bought from Carina B Couture in Bradford-on-Avon. It was a custom made for the shop and is a Suzanne Neville "Madison", worn at my wedding in May 2023.

It's a beautiful gown with full-length lace sleeves with a wrap bodice, and a full structured skirt made with rich, smooth fabric.

The dress was originally marked as a size 14 (the label on the dress still says this), but has been altered to a size 8-10. The bodice has a hidden corset, so it can be adjusted quite easily.
I am 5ft 2, and I wore 2.5 inch heels on my wedding day so this dress would fit someone petite.
It has a beautiful train at the back, and within the dress there is also a bustle, and a loop to go around your wrist/finger.

It has been dry cleaned by professional wedding dress specialists and has come out looking great.
It also has pockets!

I wore it for about 6 hours as I later changed into a different dress midway through reception.

I bought for £3500, open to sensible offers. I would love to keep it, but I have no where to store it.

Collection from Chiswick, London or Cardiff, Wales.
