The Dress

The Federica dress is a show stopper, it is unique, fun, beautifully made and fits a romantic themed style.

It includes a corset with supportive boning and beautiful flowers with small beads. The lower half is made of layers fo tulle with pearl-like sequences that provide a sea-shell effect and catches the light well. There are also oversized, hand-stitched 3D floral motifs all over. The dress has been customised to include subtle layers of blush tulle underneath to really make the shape of the flowers and the beading/sequence stand out even more than the original. The top layers of the dress are still white, with the blush coming through when the light shines onto it from behind.

I felt like the dress allowed my personality to shine. The layers and the corset felt lighter than expected, as the dress is actually a-line and not a ball-gown. it was fun to dance and twirl in and has both a bustle and a hand hook for practicality. I enjoyed used the bustle as the skirt and flowers all blended really well together making bustling the dress very subtle. The dress simply felt really special and fun! I would be sad to not see it worn again.

The dress includes the designer tag, hanging hooks, bustle hook and wrist hook.

Alterations

The corset was taken in on the side by my bridal store's alterations service (Eternal Bridal) to best suit me, but the alterations can be unpicked. From the original design shown by Neta Dover websites it includes the optional blush layers provided by Neta Dover underneath the top white layer to show off the details more.
