The Dress

If you're local to Leeds, you're welcome to come and try this on before paying anything.

Thanks for taking a look at my dress. I chose this for my day last November because I wanted something simple, elegant and beautiful that made me feel special. If, like me, you're a little self-conscious about everyone looking at you, choosing the right dress can make such a big difference! I rarely 'feel beautiful' but this dress really helped me, silly as that might sound :) I love all things vintage and this definitely has a touch of that about it, but it's simple too.

It's made from Mikado silk and falls absolutely beautifully. It has a slight corset within it and a strap so you don't need a bra. I've copied the description from the designer's site below, the only difference between their image and the dress is I didn't have the fabric belt. Any questions, ask away!

Traditional brides, this ballgown from Essense of Australia was made for you! A chic bateau neckline sets an elegant, modest tone for this clean and classic style. A fabric belt is attached at the waist of this gown, highlighting your shape before the skirt extends into a full ball gown, complete with box pleats. The back of this gown is highlighted with a slight V-back, and buttons that run the length of the skirt and onto the slight train. The back of this ball gown zips up beneath fabric-covered buttons and is available in plus sizes.

Alterations

No fabric belt. Shortened slightly so let me know your height in the shoes you're going to wear.
