About the Dress

Original traditional custom wedding dress by Masafi Couture (USA). Suits Islamic modest standards perfectly but also stuns as a traditional, timeless dress.
Highly intricate beading and embroidery catches the light and the bodice is very supportive and structured, which gives the wearer a cinched waist.
The skirt is full but not over the top, it is comprised of ~10! layers of tulle so can be really fluffed out if that’s the look you’d like, more can even be added to create a fuller skirt.
You can see in my photos that I wore the dress with a cathedral-length cape veil (probably too long, in hindsight) this was only $170 custom! from Kim Alpha Bridal. Highly recommend.
The back of the dress is gorgeous, which is partly why I chose a cape veil and styled my hair up, to show it off. It has ~18 faux pearl buttons with satin loop enclosures running down the back.
Please feel welcome to ask me any and all questions.
Measurements (post-alteration):
Waist internal 65.5cm (it cinched my waist, my waist measurement would have been ~68cm).
Heel length: 9cm, my height is 163cm so to have it sweeping the floor at the front as I did, the wearer would need to be no taller than 172cm - wearing flat shoes. However, it would work well with the front of the gown not being fully floor-length as well, then the shoes could be shown off.
Shoulder internal width: 41cm measuring from one shoulder seam to the other.
Bust: 80cm measuring along the midseam of the built-in bra and around the back.
However, my bust was 87cm at the time, so somehow I fit into this. I don’t understand how that works, I mean it was pretty tight, but if your bust is less than 87cm, it seems you should fit this dress.
I have done my best to accurately measure this dress, it is very unlikely that it will fit you perfectly and not need alteration, but it is not very possible to make the dress larger in alteration, so be cautious and buy only if you are smaller than my measurements.

Alterations

I paid AU$1000 on alterations to this dress:
To be a little shorter at the front as it was too long for my height,
To be tighter on my waist,
To have pearl embellishments at the ends of the sleeves.
