The Dress

Beautiful "Dahlia" dress from the 2024 Sassi Holford Collection. Worn once for my wedding in July and has been professionally cleaned and boxed up (see photos for the results following professional cleaning).

It is an absolutely stunning A-line dress featuring woodland appliqué and embroidery in soft shades of green, purple and lavender. The skirt is Tulle and flows beautifully, the V-back is finished off with two buttons, secured with a discreet hook-and-eye and zip.

This was my dream wedding dress, something clearly "bridal" but with a difference, and wearing it was definitely the best I think I've ever looked or felt. It will be sad to let it go but I also would love someone to enjoy wearing it as much as I did and the dress is too beautiful to stay boxed up.

Alterations

I purchased this dress as the sample size although it hadn't been tried on by anyone else before, it was a wedding dress 14 and it only needed minor alterations to fit like a glove (I wear a street size 10 usually). It has been taken in slightly at the waist and shoulders, and the V neck was slightly shortened at the front of the dress so the neckline was less plunging (a self-conscious area for me) but this could easily be reset. I'm 5,5 and wore a three-inch heel on my wedding so the dress has also been adjusted for my height.
