The Dress

DRESS & VEIL:
Purchased in early 2018, and worn in September 2018. A glamorous off the shoulder style gown, the front is heavily beaded and comes down to look slightly off the shoulder with a sheer mesh insert so that it stays in place, the front then plunges to a V which is very flattering across the bust, and it has a built in bra. The back of the dress is embellished across the neck leading into a string of pearls down the back of the dress with a hidden zipper. The embroidery on the lace is so delicate across the dress with a lovely scallop edge to the train. The material stretches and is quite flattering, with the back detailing also including skin tone mesh which gives the illusion of bare skin. The train is mid length with a silk underlay. Usually I am 8/10 AU for dress size and a DD cup size (no bra was needed on the day). The veil was bought separate and is available as a package with the dress.

Alterations

The length has been altered to suit my height of 160cm, and my shoes were about 11cm (including platforms), so a taller girl could get away with shorter heels. A second bustle was added to allow me to pin up my dress so I could dance at my reception. Extra lace was also added underneath at the front to blend the torso with the skirt.
