The Dress

I bought this gown off Still White last year, and after my wonderful day am ready to pass it onto another bride to enjoy.

“A streamlined gown with v-neck and back with a statement split. Clara’s silhouette is particularly flattering on brides who may be conscious of their smaller bust or height as the built-in cups give great shape and the front split elongates the body.”

I felt totally glorious in this dress. It is a comfortable fabric with some stretch, but also hugs in all the right places. It is simple but elegant, and the split gives it a little edge. I wore it all day and night, and was able to tuck it up inside itself using the garter hook that has been added so that it was easier to dance.

The gown has cleaned up beautifully, with only some minor marks around the back of the train if you look closely, and it could probably do with a new hook and eye at the top of the zip at the back.

Alterations

- Shortened length
- New zip fitted at the back
- Straps shortened
- Garter hook added inside so dress can be “bustled up” inside itself
- Small cotton eyes added for wings to hook onto
