The Dress

Liz Martinez
Bardot dress
RRP $11,000 depending on customisation.

This was purchased from Blue Bell Bridal in Melbourne. It was a store sample.

Alterations
I had the dress lined up the top but wore skims on the bottom. 1 extra layer of chule added to the skirt, this gives the dress 5 layers. Liz Martinez dresses are very very see through, so I added an extra layer but as you can see from the photos, you still get that sheer impact. This layer could easily be cut out if you didn’t want it.

Measurements
I was a size 8 with C cup boobs. I had removable cups on the day rather than sowing them in. This was to avoid bunching with lining.
Dress front length : underarm to bottom hem 140cm

Waist 67cm
Bust 90cm
Hips 98cm - however doesn’t matter for the style of dress.
I am 165cm and wore 10cm Amina Muaddi shoes on the day

I wore this as my ceremony dress at our wedding in Oct 2023. Our ceremony was outside and we had photos in the vines. I wore a shorter dress at the reception.

Dress was worn for 3 hours and has been dry cleaned by Australian bridal dry cleaners.

Some breading is missing in spots but really only noticeable on closer inspection. This could easily be fixed by a seamstress.

One small 8-10cm tear in the train of the tule. Happy to send photos.
