The Dress

I knew the the ivory Nahla gown from Mariana Hardwick was my wedding dress, right from the moment I tried it on in their flagship store in Melbourne. The dress is tagged as a size 8, but has been altered to fit a street size 6 or small size eight. I am a 10B cup and also had double cups inserted. The gown is in excellent condition and been professionally dry-cleaned, by Ferrari Dry Cleaners in Melbourne. I am 157 cm tall and wore 10cm heels on the day.

The 3m long veil, with beautiful roule edging that matches this gown perfectly, is also available for purchase.

This dress made me feel like an absolute queen on my wedding day - the dress felt SO comfortable and beautiful to wear. I wish I could wear this dress again (and again!) but she is ready to make another bride feel absolutely special.

I would be happy to send the dress anywhere at buyer's expense and shall have the shipping transparently costed before sending. I am also happy to see only serious buyers in my home to try the dress on, under socially distanced and COVID safe conditions.

Alterations

I had the dressed fully hemmed and taken in from the size 8 to fit my size 6/ 8 body. The waist and hips were taken in. The shoulder straps were also taken up. I had hooks and loops added to be able to collect the bustle. I also had extra padding cups added, to my 10B fit.
