The Dress

I know every bride says how much they loved their dress but I REALLY loved my dress. I found trying on dresses a bit disheartening as I struggled to find things that I felt comfortable in for my body type. I loved the Auldyn gown but only saw photos of very slender women wearing it. But…it is the perfect dress for ALL body types! The longer sleeves gave me confidence to dance and cheers my drinks and not worry about “bad” photos of my arms. The upper body was firm enough to make me feel comfortable but not restricted. The lower half flows beautifully and didn’t catch on my hips or legs. I am usually about a size 14 top and 16 bottom. This dress is an AU size 12 and was a bit snug around my upper body but still fit perfectly. I had them add some fabric to the back to make it keyhole rather than backless but it was made in its original design first, then pieces added. This way making it easy for the new bride to have it removed, should they wish to wear it in the original backless design. I could only upload 4 photos but if you would like more to show the back shape, please DM me. There are also several variations of the neckline. Mine is the “modest” v-neckline. It has been professionally dry cleaned and in PERFECT condition. Located Tweed Heads, NSW, Australia.

Alterations

The dress was made to a standard AU size 12. I asked the designers to add some pieces to the back to make it a keyhole rather than backless. It was altered knowing I would sell it after the wedding and they assured me it would be very easy for a dressmaker to remove the extra pieces of fabric should the next bride want to wear it in the original backless design.
