The Dress

If this Made With Love (MWL) Flynn dress had been available on Still White when I was searching for my wedding dress (and I did search!), I would have purchased it. I’m now selling a Flynn dress, with the hope that another bride can enjoy this beautiful dress at a fraction of the cost. It’s too stunning to remain in my wardrobe.

This MWL Flynn dress in ivory was made in 2020 and dry cleaned immediately after our wedding in February 2021. It was purchased from the MWL store in St Ives (NSW) and comes with an original MWL bag and box.

Overall cost summary:
Dress $3,410.00

Alterations

Alterations can be common and the cost varies. I spent $850 on alterations, which were completed by a MWL recommended seamstress, Sarah Tai Alteration (Sydney). While the dress was ordered in the standard MWL sizing (I’m a size 10, C cup), it arrived larger than my measurements, particularly around the bust and skirt length. I also wanted the bodice to flow with the skirt, as the original bodice was sheer with boning. Alterations included hemming, waistline lifted, bodice lined and fitted, some boning removed, straps changed, white bust cups inserted and original lace added to conceal bust cups, and bustle added. While these alterations may sound extensive, they really did improve the overall appearance and fit of the dress, which I had hoped for in Flynn.
