I wore this Catherine Deane (Charlotte) dress at my Brisbane May wedding this year (2016). It is a beautiful relaxed art nouveau style by renowned London designer Catherine Deane. It is her current season and you can find it on her website as well as in Australia from the Babushka Ballerina store (and website) in Brisbane (not sure where else it's stocked in Australia).

I ordered it directly from London as the Brisbane stockist couldn't get it shipped in time (I was going to wear another dress but instantly fell in love with this one when I tried it on). I bought a UK size 10 and then had it altered by an excellent Brisbane dressmaker (Alter-Ego) to fit my measurements which are: Bust- 83cm; Waist- 69cm; Hips- 92cm (I am usually a size 8 in Australian clothes - though sometimes a size 10 depending on the brand). The length was taken up to match my height in the heels I wore (I'm 162cm tall but wore 12cm heels).

I paid $3700 (Australian dollars) for the dress (plus import duties/taxes) and haven't dry-cleaned it as I don't think it needs it (but have priced it accordingly). The dress is made of silk and truly exquisite lace and is in excellent condition - my wedding wasn't that long (late afternoon and evening) and it was in the cooler months of Brisbane weather so I wasn't sweating - but obviously you still might like to have it dry-cleaned yourself. I am also happy to include the size 7 Alan Pinkus shoes I wore with the dress.

I am very happy to answer any questions and if you live in Brisbane you're welcome to try it on before buying.

Thank you
