The Dress

The Vilsa is an original by Designer Anna Sposa, made and imported from Ukraine in July 2023 for my August wedding.

The dress is an absolute gem. Nothing compares to it. It’s not heavy, although it has multiple layers. The corset inside is very adjustable so can be adjusted to fit a waist smaller or a little bigger in size.

Because of the corset, the dress stays in place during plenty of movement and there is no need to stress about pulling it up all the time.

It also comes with removable puffy sleeves that can be worn for a winter wedding or can be left off for a summer wedding. I used the sleeves to change up the look during the first dance and after.

If you’re worried about the dress being too hot for a summer wedding, its not. The material is very versatile so cool in summer but also keeps the wind out.

The lace is bold and very unique to any other design. The dress can also be made longer or shorter depending on your height. I am 167 but with my high heels I was about 170-171 and the dress still hung perfectly to the ground.

It’s fairly easy to move and to dance in. I would suggest asking a seemstress to add a strong button at the back to keep the dress up when dancing. It comes without. I used a keyring as an improvision on the day of my wedding because the small button did not hold.

The dress is in prestine condition with zero flaws. It’s also been drycleaned and steamed.

It comes with a veil at request for additional fee of R500

I am heartbroken to let this dress go, but it would be an absolute waste to keep such an exquisite dress hanging in a cupboard.

Hoping the right bride will fall as in love with this dress as I did.

Alterations

Was altered around the waist to make it smaller (now fitted to the measurements above)
Was also made shorter at the front to keep me from stepping on it. My length is 1.67
