The Dress

Stunning A line wedding dress. Purchased in 2012 from The Dress in Teddington, London.

Silk band around waist accentuates shape.

Incredibly flattering, especially if you’re hourglass or pear-shaped as flows softly over hips and thighs without adding width/ bulk. Interestingly, I wouldn’t have picked a v-neck but as soon as I put it on I just knew it was ‘the one’. The beautiful delicate detail, wide, deep v in the front and back allows some sexiness without being too revealing. I’d wanted a backless dress but needed bust support so this was a perfect blend of the two elements. So comfortable as it manages to give you form and shape without uncomfortable boning.

Lovely train that flows beautifully.

Beautiful detail of crystals and little pearls down neckline and back. This is a stunning deep-V neck front and back.

Zip closure.

Underlay - 100% polyester
Lace overlay - 70% nylon / 30% Rayon

Worn in 2012 and was cleaned and stored in beautiful wedding dress box which it will be posted in. When I wore the dress I’d say I was a smallish 14 on the top and a small size 16 on the bottom.

Small tear in the train - see picture (I caught it in the heel of my shoe). Slight discolouration on the very edges of the lace part as it’s touched the floor. May come out with further dry cleaning. Hardly noticeable when worn.

Alterations

I had the waist and bust slightly taken in
