The Dress

I started out with a totally different wedding dress and a few weeks before the big day I tried it on and realised that I didn't feel very special. I liked the dress but didn't get that 'I feel amazing' feel about it. I re-looked at my Pinterest board and realised that what I had pinned was not really anything like what I had picked. Although I liked the dress, I didn't feel like it was 'the one'. I then did a bit of Pinterest searching and found this dress... local to me... and in my size! I booked to go and have a fitting the next day and from the moment I put the Julia dress on I felt AMAZING! I am not very body confident usually but something happened when I put this on that made me feel so special. It fit me perfectly and I loved the deep v back and the lace cap sleeve. The lady in the bridal shop said that everyone who puts a Flora dress on says that they feel a million dollars and she was not wrong. It gave me such a confidence boost on the day and it was really comfy to wear. Being a wedding photographer I have seen my fair share of dresses which is why I think I just opted for a 'standard' dress. I can honesty say that, although a lot more than I was initially wanting to pay, it blew every other dress out the water.

I got married in Dubrovnik, Croatia so the conditions were more dry/dusty than wet/muddy (so no grass stains or mud). I have had the dress professionally cleaned and it has come up really well. A couple of things to mention though is a stain on the back/bottom of the lining of the dress (I can send photos) plus my shoe caught on the bottom so a part of one of the scallops has ripped but this could be repaired and would hardly be noticeable because of the lace detail at the bottom. I can send photos of these if requested.

I would still say that my dress is in great condition and had I not found my dress local to me I would have certainly bought second hand from here.

I would welcome any questions you may have about the dress.

Alterations

I had the length adjusted from the waist so it didn't have any of the detail on the bottom taken off. I also had nude panels put in the front as I felt it was a little too revealing. The panels are on each side (not across the whole section)so you still get a slight impression of cleavage :)
