This dress was an absolute dream! The delicate halter and simple backless style is just stunning. "Violet" was exactly what I was looking for; a non-traditional but unique dress which was a mix between bohehiam and romantic elegance. I wore this dress in April 2015 and it was the most comfortable dress to get around your busy day. The detail is just gorgeous without being too over-the-top and it attracted compliments even beyond the wedding day.

I'm 5"2' (157cm) and 58kgs and wear a size 8-10. The dress is not restricted in material and stretches beautifully to your body without compressing you. The waist and neck are also elastic so it's easy to put on and off without ruining your hair and make up.

It's been a year now and I feel like this dress belongs to someone who can cherish their day with it, as I did, instead of it sitting protected in my wardrobe.

"Combining feminine charm with classic details, the Violet is for the woman who wants a beautiful dress that perfectly fuses tradition with modern accents. Handmade with soft blush tulle and a unique two-tone bodice, featuring ivory stretch cotton lace and nude lining, the Violet gown is for the elegant and graceful GLL girl.

Beginning with a flattering high neckline, which gives the illusion of a halter neck, the Violet has a T back, which adds a contemporary feel to this timeless gown. The bodice features nude lining with ivory stretch cotton lace and the elastic waistband is accentuated with a simple nude satin ribbon. We love the glowing blush tulle skirt on the Violet, which skims the floor and is complemented by a chic, ivory lining."

I bought the dress as a standard size 8 from GLL and I have had the bottom altered for my height, but I was wearing 4-5inch heels.
