The Dress

Size 3 - Kyahs size chart can be found online

This style is still active in Kyah stores, if your wanting a bit of peace of mind, why not go try on the dress on in store, then come buy mine for half price!!

This was the first dress I tried on and no other dress could compare. I am usually a size 12/14 Au.

The boning in the corset was super strong but comfortable at the same time, I didn't once have to do the typical strapless boob pull-up. I am a cup size c, and ive never felt so supported. The corset gave me the most amazing hourglass figure and the skirt hid my tummy so well. The off-shoulder arm loop isn't structural but adds amazing detail and helped to hide my upper arms a bit, which was an insecurity of mine.

The material is a gorgeous dutchess satin, meaning it has a slight pearlescent to it and shimmers and glows in the sun, adding a radiance to photos.

The train is the perfect length for drama but can easily be bustled up and carried on the three-hand loops. I didn't have a second dress, so I partied and danced hard in this dress and it didn't limit me in any way. I was still able to perform dips and lifts during our first dance with ease.

The dress had a very full skirt and train but wasn't heavy or hard to move around in, the material was very breathable and I didn't overheat or sweat in it at all, and we had an outdoor ceremony in the full sun on a 24-degree day.

Overall I have never felt so confident in my life and I was absolutely glowing. This translated into getting the most amazing photos because I felt so at ease in front of the camera knowing I looked amazing. The right dress makes such a big difference to your day.

Alterations

The dress was hemmed to my height of 5'7 and 12 cm heels. I added the extra button package, so the buttons along the zip line reach down past the zip to the start of the thigh. I added a bustle and three hand loops. I widened the leg slit, to show more leg whilst walking, as the two sides of the slit were overlapping and not allowing my leg to poke through. Alterations cost $800 total.
