The Dress

Coco is a sheer A-line dress made of a 3-D embroidered silk tulle featuring an invisible illusion neckline, a low back and organza flower accents. With layers of fluffy nude tulle under the long skirt and train, this dress is truly romantic, the illusion tulle neckline with hand sewn floral appliqué makes the dress appear to be growing on your body, a truly fairytale design! I got so many comments about how magical the dress looked with the flowers over the sheer bodice. Both the fabrics and the craftsmanship are sublime, nothing else I tried on even came close, it has been made with such attention to every delicate detail it’s like a piece of art. This dress was purchased from Browns Bride in London and comes with a Browns Bride waterproof garment bag and an Extra Large Empty Box Company wedding dress box with acid free tissue paper (in Endsleigh Ivory) and a Galia Lahav hanger. I am 32” bust, 27” waist, 5”5’ height + 4 inch heels. UK sale only - too nervous about international postage for something like this! I’m London based if you would like to come and see the dress :)

Alterations

The Browns Bride seamstress added cups in sourced directly from Galia Lahav (which could easily be removed) and a bustle for dancing in the evening, she also added boning only up the sides, to help hold it in place whilst sitting/dancing etc. She altered the length to suit me, at 5’5” plus 4” heels. Label is a 12 but Galia follows the same trend as most other bridal labels and is a couple sizes smaller than high street sizes, so the 12 fit me perfectly on the waist as a size 8 with a 27 inch waist.
