The Dress

(Please note: I wore a long cape - the cape is not part of the dress.)

This dress is STUNNING and complex and made me so happy on my wedding day!!! It is a beautiful, thick, rich, luxurious Jaipur Ivory Lace over a lovely, delicate Tan underlay.

So many things caught my eye about this dress when I first tried it on!

The lace is evocative of tradition and full of rich detail that you never get tired of looking at, but it is also a contemporary, clean, and striking design. Personally, I am not one for florals, but I love rich detail and fabrics that feel luxurious and hand made. I really felt like I was getting the best of both worlds with this lace! - Full of detail, but very modern.

The cut is also spectacularly flattering. When I was dress shopping, I often felt that designer dresses were cut in way that only looked good on a single body type. Personally, I am curvier, and so many of the designer dresses that I tried on did not make me feel my best... I was therefore extremely happy and excited when I finally found this dress! I stopped looking immediately after :). The Tan underlay fabric is stretchy but structured, so it stretches to fit you, but also lays smoothly. The underlay fabric also has several extra layers from the waist down, so it smooths everything out super well, while still being very stretchy and comfortable. Really fantastic! The fit-and-flare cut with a v-neck, very low back, and high-cut waist is EXTREMELY flattering. The back cut is especially beautiful! Every time I tried this dress on, it always made me feel GREAT about how I looked. For this, I am so grateful to have found this dress!

The train on this dress is amazing! Only the lace overlay continues into the train, not the tan underlay. So even though it is long and magnificent, it is extremely manageable. You can even easily pick it up and hold it while you walk, if you want to. The beautiful rich weight of the lace also means that the train stays extended behind you when you walk forward - made extra beautiful by the transparency of the lace. I also really loved that, because the lace is not stiff at all, the train moves with you in a very elegant and natural way. If you move backward or turn, it does not stick out behind you stiffly. It moves with you, and you can even get a beautiful twisting effect when you turn (shown in one of my pictures).

I got endless compliments on this dress, not only for its beauty, but also because it is so striking and memorable, without distracting from the person wearing it.

The dress did not disappoint me on my wedding day :). It looked perfect all day long, just as it did when I first tried it on and was so impressed. It was also extremely comfortable. No part of it itched or annoyed or constrained me - it is very easy to wear. Even after 12 hours, I didn't want to take it off!

Some details:
From the waist up, the tan underlay of the bodice is partially sheer. Because the lace overlay is so thick, rich, and detailed, the two layers together do not look sheer at all when you put the dress on. You could not see through to my skin at all when I had the dress on. I wore pasties just to be extra careful, but I really did not feel like I needed them. There is a zipper in the back of the dress, in the center, so it is easy to get in and out of. There is a narrow row of many small, silk buttons in front of the zipper, down the center-back of the dress. They look great with the lace, which also has some round details in it, of similar size. When the zipper is closed, you cannot see the zipper at all.

This wonderful Australian designer (Made With Love) offered this Sasha (Ivory & Tan) design in 2018 and 2019. I found this design and ordered it at a boutique in London, UK. The retail price that I listed is what I paid for it in USD (using the exchange rate from GBP to USD at the time).

The designer's label size is M - Medium.
(The dress is so stretchy, flattering, and comfortable, that it doesn't even need numbered sizes :).)
I've marked it size US 8, because the measurements are closest to that.

I did not make any alterations to this dress, and it has been professionally cleaned (at a cost of >300 USD).
