About the Dress

Yay! You're looking for your wedding dress! If you're like me, I wanted to look beautiful and at my best, but I didn't want to spend thousands. So despite trying on some expensive dresses in person, I then did my research to see what I could find online. I know what the search is like, and how thorough you need to be. I also know buying online is a risk - so please know I am here to chat and have plenty more photos I can send you. Find more info below for now.

DESIGN
Grace Loves Lace inspired design that I purchased from an online, Australian boutique. I tried a dress of similar design on at Grace Loves Lace studio, however I found this online for a better price so took the risk - and I was SO happy! I would love to pass this onto another bride who wants to look absolutely STUNNING on her special day, for a much lesser investment. I got so many compliments on this dress and you will too!

COMFORT
I wanted comfort along with a WOW factor and I was so impressed how comfy this dress was. I could breathe, move around, bend over etc. I didn't get too hot or too cold. It really was ideal for day to night and I could feel myself the whole event. Underwear - you can actually wear whatever you want, you don't necessarily need some crazy seamless g-string.

THE FRONT
Flattering lace design accentuating hips and female figure (in my opinion!). No bra required as there's build in padding. Lace V neck gives beautiful shape.

THE BACK
Statement keyhole back with clasp at neck. Zips at back too over bottom (zip totally invisible). I have had a bustle added, so the train can be buttoned up for convenience but still look great.

CONDITION
You would not know I have worn this. I've had it dry-cleaned a few times and it's come up near NEW, the naked eye would not tell it has been worn. I had a small, family wedding (i.e. it wasn't a wild night) and therefore the dress remained in great condition. I have many photos of it now post dry-cleaning so please send me a message and I can send through.

COLOUR
This dress is Ivory over Champagne. The lining is the Champagne bit (hardly seen, except in V neck part). The sleeves are sheer.

SIZING
It's a standard size 10, with some minor alterations made. Alternations included sleeves bought in (initially baggy). Please send me a message if you'd like to know more about the alterations. Alterations can easily be undone by a professional too, says my dressmaker. I'm usually a size 8-10 so therefore needed some tweaks.

LENGTH
The length/hem of the dress was unchanged and not altered. The length you see in the photos is how it worked with 8cm heels and I am 171cm tall. It was perfect for what I wanted, and of course you can play with heel height/take hem up if required.

MORE INFO
I am more than happy to message back and forth and I have so many more photos, but could only list 4 on StillWhite. Please send me a message if you have queries.
