The Dress
I fell in love with this dress instantly! I hope someone else finds as much joy from wearing it as I did for my beach wedding in Mexico. It's a stunningly beautiful, vintage-inspired dress with the most intricate detailing! I couldn't find many professional/official pics of the dress in bone with the chiffon brocade...so I've put quite a few from my own wedding.
*** In complete transparency, the dress still has a few sand stains around the bottom edge at the back and I'd recommend taking an inch off the back chiffon too. If you're 5'3 or under this dress will still fit you perfectly after these additional alterations. The dress wasnt back from the dry-cleaned when first advertised so because of this I'm reducing the cost heavily!***
The vintage-inspired Grace features delicate hand-beaded shoulder detailing, an elegant low back and a shimmering silver hand-embellishment.
- Designed and handmade in Melbourne, Australia.
- 100% Silk Dupion bust, and 100% Silk Satin skirt lining
- Hand-beaded shoulder loop detail.
- V-shaped bust with padding.
- The Grace skirt is made with a modern, in-built train, easily bustled with a single silk-covered button.
- Colour Bone
This dress is a size medium which is designed for a UK 10-12. I am a UK size 8-10 and the dress fit wonderfully and with the stretchy waistband it would easily fit a few sizes bigger too.
The dress has been professionally dry-cleaned and is stored carefully in a presentation box.
Alterations
I'm only 5'4" so did have some length taken off the inner silk layer, and slightly from the chiffon around the front. Because the style is split up the front and I also wanted a lot of flowing material I would think it's still suitable for a couple of inches taller too (depending on heel size of course).
The shoulder straps (which come detached at purchase) have been sewn into place but the seamstress didn't cut the excess material so that it can be easily readjusted.
I also had a couple of loops put inside the waistband as I was debating wearing a strapless bra and wanted to ensure it stayed hidden as the back is low. In the end I didn't wear a bra as it's got fully padded cups so wasn't necessary, but a useful addition perhaps for someone else.
The dress comes with a single loop in the chiffon layer and button at the back so you can hook the trail up. I also added two more tiny single thread loops on the chiffon layer at the sides which also hook up beautifully on the same button as I wanted to make sure I didn't tread on the dress dancing as I did keep it quite long for my height.
