The Dress

The perfect second dress to dance the night away in.

It will fit a size AU8 to a small AU10.

Please note: dress size is AU10 but has been altered to fit AU8, measurements above. I was 20 weeks pregnant at the time of wearing this dress. See alterations below for more detail.


I saw this dress on instagram and HAD to have it! I am absolutely in love with this dress and it was honestly the most perfect statement dress! It's so comfortable and a complete showstopper, I had so many compliments and felt both stunning and fun!! Dry cleaned and in perfect condition.

The ‘Rhiannon’ Mini is an iconic mini, a whimsical, feminine design to dance the night away in. This dress is custom handmade by Christie Nicole and her grandma with each pearl and flower individually sewn on.

From Christie Nicole website:
Pearl adorned soft pleated tulle, statement puff sleeves and gathered skirt with 100% silk lining. Our signature 3D floral appliqué delicately placed and hand sewn on the bodice on a plunging neckline. Wear the ‘Rhiannon’ Mini as your wedding dress or reception dress. Christie Nicole Bridal garments are made to order in our Sydney studio.

These dresses takes roughly 12 months to order through the designer. My dress would ideally suit someone who couldn’t wait the full 12 months. Comes with garment bag from Christie Nicole and additional pearls and florals if you need to make further alterations.

Alterations

- I had the dress taken up and in around the shoulders and under my arms as the dress was too big for my small frame. This also kept the sleeves up so it wouldn't fall off my shoulders. I am usually a size AU8 and I am short 152cm.
- The waist was kept as is to cater for my 20 week pregnant belly
- I had tulle taken out of the sleeves to make it less puffy as my arms are quite slim
