About the Dress

Update on the sizing: the label says UK 12, US 10, E 42, FR 40. But I'm a UK size 14 so I think they come large.

This is the description from Pronovias: Elegant and majestic flared design with full skirt with train in plain Mikado. Its body has long sleeves and a high neck in tulle with floral appliqués embroidered in thread and embellished with gemstones, which merges at the center of the back into a line of buttons that descend over the hips and half-way down the skirt.

About the colour: I think it's white. Some people may call it ivory...I think it's a bit of a stretch to call it that but I want to be as descriptive about it as I can be. Hopefully you'll see it well enough from the photos.

It has great boning, I wore it without a bra and received a compliment or two about how my bust looked in it so...it's a good one, it is a good one!

It was only let out by 0.5 cm on each side around the waist (that's 0.5 cm on each side of the fabric which means in total it is now 2cm wider around the waist than the original size).
The slip skirt (the very bottom layer) was shortened so that I don't step on it but the tulle layer and the top layer of the dress itself have not been touched at all. I wore 10cm heels so there was no need. I'm 173cm tall.

A loop was added so that the train can be attached to the back of the dress after the ceremony. The loop is still there, by some miracle.

Nothing else has been altered but I have cut the hanging strips of the dress so that they didn't show when I was wearing it.

Also, it has pockets!

Because the dress has barely been altered I am keeping the high price of it but I welcome offers.
