The Dress

A now discontinued creation by coveted French designer Delphine Manivet, purchased from The Mews Bridal in London in 2018. Hyppolite is a relaxed, elegant design reminiscent of “that” green dress from Atonement. It is unique and timeliness in its appeal and makes movement (and dancing) easy! The back of the dress was slightly shorted to create a mid-length train. The bottom has some small imperfections from dancing :) but can be easily altered and will still be floor length if desired. Happy to send photos and further detail. I am average height 5'6" (168 cm) and wore 2.5in (6.35cm) heels for the occasion. I had the dress altered from a Size 10 to a Size 8 as it was the last they had in stock. I will also include a custom drop veil which goes beautifully with the look and feel of the dress.

Alterations

Waist was taken in from a size 10 to a size 8; the spaghetti straps were shortened to bring up the neckline from being too low and blousy. The hem of the dress was taken in to suit a 2.5 inch (6.35cm) heel in the front and the train shortened to mid-length.
