The Dress

Bought new, off the rack, for my wedding in 2020. Covid lockdowns delayed our wedding twice. We ended up changing plans and our wedding became a daytime, outdoor, garden wedding rather than the evening, cocktail wedding we had originally planned, so I purchased a different dress.

The dress was purchased from Rachel Gilbert boutique, in Armadale, Melbourne. As it was off the rack, the store had it professionally cleaned before selling it to me. No alterations have been made to it.

It's a very delicate, hand-beaded gown with a classic shape. Invisible zip at the back of the gown. Timeless style.

Images and video are from the fitting in had in the boutique. As you can see, the dress was too big and too long for me, but the alterations were never done before Covid hit. I've included the designers measurements, not my own.

Once fitted properly, it really is a stunning shape which accentuates the womanly figure.

Despite being hand-beaded, the dress is not heavy. The detail is beautiful and I love the elegant neckline. The second dress I purchased had a very similar neckline - it's classic!
