The Dress

Photos do not do this dress justice. It is unbelievably stunning!

I fell in love with it when I first spotted it online and when I went to try it on, I was even more wowed in person!

The detail in the lace (soft chantilly lace and tulle) is stunning, with 3D leaf appliques and a subtle hint of sparkle. It has a beautiful long train and low back.

It’s a very comfortable dress and I felt amazing In it. I am actually so sad to sell this dress and part ways with it. But it will only gather dust and I would love for someone else to be able to enjoy wearing this dress for their special day 🤍

The dress has only been worn for a couple of hours - during the ceremony and a little bit after that.

I paid full price of £2400 from Ava Louise Bridal in Southampton.

The top of the dress is lined with ivory material on the bodice part for more coverage and a nice seamless colour overall.

Alterations

I am 5ft5 and a size 12.

I am a size 12 on the bottom and a size 10 on top.

This dress was ordered in a size 12, but taken in on the top (around the bust) a bit.

The hem of the dress was taken up slightly - I am 5ft 5 and I wore 3.6 inch heels.

I had a bustle loop and button added to the train and lower part of the dress - which was super helpful for walking around in after the ceremony!

I had cups added into the bust area of the dress (but these could potentially be removed when you get alterations done)
