About the Dress

Featured in the current issue of New Zealand Weddings magazine

This beautiful modern gown is a custom Kyha gown from One Day Bridal. I am sad to say goodbye, but I feel it will be much better off if it could make someone else feel as amazing as I did on their special day.

The base is a natural coloured Crepe De Chine thick silk fabric. It is fully structured throughout the body (boning) (would fit a size A-B cup bust) with a panelled mermaid shaped skirt with a crinoline braid along the hem to give it more structure. There is a belt that accentuates the waistline.

The train can be bustled for dancing. There are also several loops along the inside on the hem which can be used to put over your wrist to also 'bustle' the train and front of the gown (please see the last photo).

The extended neckline was designed in a classic cowl neck silhouette. The back is a keyhole , with one button that does up at the base of the neck and twelve buttons that do up from the mid bottom to the waistline at the back.

The gown is covered with natural coloured French beaded lace along the sides of the dress that graduates to around the back of the dress.

At the time of my wedding my measurements were as follows:

Height: 175cm - 5' 9

Typically an Australian size 8-10

Bust: 84cm

Waist: 69cm

Hips: 92cm

I believe the gown could possibly fit a size 8 to 10. I'm sure the team at One Day Bridal will be more than happy to help with any alterations you may require.

The heel height for my shoes that I wore on the day were 10cm.

I have had the gown dry cleaned by the highly reputable Syndal's Bridal Dry Cleaners in Armadale. The dress has only a few very minor marks at the bottom, if the dress needs to be taken up these will be gone.

For any further details please don't hesitate to contact me and I will happily assist. I'm open to offers and happy to arrange a fitting and/or more photos if required. I'd appreciate it if make-up and/or fake tan was removed before trying on the gown.
