The Dress

I feel in love with my wedding dress from the first moment I saw it online. I'd searched for hour's upon end to find my dream vintage lace dress, then whilst out dress shopping 'there it was' in all its beauty. With only 8 weeks to go till our wedding I was beyond lucky that when it arrived 2 weeks before the big day it fit like a glove, ordered as a size 10 it needed only breast cups and a bustle to complete its look. Honestly its so comfortable, I wanted to find a dress I could Ceilidh dance in as my husband's Scottish and it was perfect, even though the train is long, the bustle kept it up nicely and it wasn't heavy at all. I had the dress dry cleaned professionally at a cost of £195 and is in a lovely presentation box, It does however still have some marks from the celebrations on the dress. These include one very small hole and a small tear (both photographed on here), and there are some marks to the lining only, not on the lace (if the lining needed taking up for example to suit your height then these marks would disappear, I haven't tried it on again since the wedding to see if you can see them under the lace). The hook and eye for 2 of the fabric buttons on the back of the dress have also come loose, but could be easily fixed. Unfortunately I didn't have time to have the small bits fixed as the dress arrived back only the day before we emigrated to New Zealand (my mum has my dress in the UK and is in charge of the selling). The dress is far to beautiful to sit in its box in a cupboard and not be worn again. I am 5ft 7 and a half and my high heals were: 8.8cm.

Below are the official details on the dress

Traditional details with updated design elements create a uniquely sexy look on this Stella York wedding dress. Cotton-style vintage laces create a floral explosion throughout the fitted silhouette, and stand out against the neutral Georgette lining for a multi-dimensional look. A combination of French and eyelash laces finish the hem and neckline for a touch of old-world charm, while the V-neckline with wide lace straps feels casual yet classic. The back of this gown features an incredible floral lace design that complements the floating fabric buttons, and the delicate yet multi-layered train flows out from beneath the hips to create an enviably feminine shape.

Alterations

The perfect size 10 fit with no alterations to the dress size. I had 1 inch taken from up the georgette lining only not the lace. I added breast cups and had a bustle on the train so it could be lifted.
