The Dress

Lace sheath Rebecca Ingram/Maggie Sottero wedding gown in a sparkling ivory, flattering silhouette with sweetheart neckline, scoop back, and glittering sequined chapel-length train. Sequined lace motifs over chantilly lace. Covered buttons over zip (back). Detachable off-the-shoulder sleeves included.

This dress really made me feel like a princess! I loved how the dress snatched my waist and elongated my legs, whilst still fitting comfortably. The dress is light and the skirt is roomy so it's great for dancing, especially as it sparkles on the dancefloor!

The detachable sleeves loop round the buttons at the back and attach via a popper at the front (which could be moved by a seamstress, if needed). I chose to remove the sleeves for our evening reception.

It would be easy to add a bustle as the buttons extend down the back of the dress.

The dress has been professionally dry cleaned and looks good as new.

Alterations

Lightly lined cups added.
Waist stay added to support the weight of the skirt and prevent the bodice from moving, so that you don't have to adjust/pull up the dress throughout the night. Multiple hooks and eyes on the waist stay so that it's easily adjustable to fit a slightly different size/body
