Bought as a store sample (for £725), and was altered and dry cleaned before I wore it. It has been well worn and extremely well loved. It has NOT been dry cleaned since my wedding.

I bought several styling options to wear for the first part of my day and on the morning-of changed my mind, as I felt incredible in this dress with just my sash and veil. See profile pic. This was my DREAM dress to wear.

I wore it all day so it has the following marks and imperfections:

- dust and dirt on the train (but I am 6ft2 so you may well have this trimmed off). I have deliberately not steamed this area in the photos to avoid baking the marks in further.
- a small and faint purple/red patch on the skirt, I can send a photo separately
- a tiny burn-hole from a sparkler spark (woops)… near bottom of train at back but again you’d be likely to trim it off
- some fluffing(?) in areas where i was ceilidh dancing with people and it rubbed against other clothes etc
- broken bustle thread on inside, not visible from outside
- some marks on bodice as pictured
- some pin holes at bottom of V on front and back
- loose thread on inside of bodice where I had foam cups added (cups have been removed but thread remains, not visible from outside)

I live in SW London and would be happy to allow a visit to view/try on.

Feel free to ask for measurements or other photos/info.

Condition

Used - Obvious flaws or wear
Not dry cleaned
Crepe fabric

Alterations

A few cm off length (floor length on me - I’m 6ft2 so still v long)
A few mm taken in under arms
Bustle added to inside
Button remains but the thread loop broke while dancing
Stitching added along V on back to ensure the lining laid flat and to tighten the bodice structure
This really made it easier to wear as I found it a bit loose before this was done
The stitching is visible up close but not visible in any of my photos from the day
Charlie Brear label removed as it was too visible
