A romantically light, yet minimalistic bustier gown. The Mimosa features a luxurious silk blend polka dot jacquard and removable sleeves that can be worn off or on the shoulder. Hidden pockets and a cutout back add playfully sexy features to delight your most devoted loved one.

This was my dream wedding dress. I wanted something silky and simple but still being something unique and playful. The straps being worn in two difference ways meant that I could have an 'outfit' change and wore my sleeves up for the ceremony and down for the reception. I felt beautiful in this dress and didn't have to worry about what I ate on the day as it has the most stunning A line design. The pockets meant that I could carry my lip balm with me all day as well as a sneaky tissue for the ceremony.

I was a size AUS 8-10 at the time of ordering and wearing. I ordered a size AU 8 and altered it to fit a size AU 10. See below for alteration details.

Cup measurements: 13cm length (down), 16cm width (across) with 3.5-4cm between the cups.

Across the bodice is 39cm lying flat. The waist of the garment measures at 73cm (preferably should not be tight so your measurements should be slightly less).

Would ideally fit someone with a smaller size AUS 10 body with 12B-C cups.

The dress has been professionally dry cleaned. It comes with a storage box and acid free paper which can be re-used by a professional wedding dress dry cleaner (reduces your costs after the wedding!).

Alterations

We altered the straps at the back slightly (see photos of the unique shape)
No length was taken from the trail of the dress
The front was hemmed to my height with my shoes
I am 169cm and I wore 6cm shoes
The lining was taken up to my ankles so that it didn't impact my walking or my shoes - very practical and does not impact the way the dress sits
Hidden bustle (ribbon ties) added to the inner back to hook dress up to allow for dancing
The wrist strap to hold up the trail was also kept on the dress and allowed for easy movement while taking photos
