Tony Ward Couture, Precious

This was truly the gown of my dreams. Elegant, timeless, and completely unique nothing like a typical wedding dress. Perfect for both indoor and outdoor weddings. I searched everywhere and could only find one photo of the model wearing it on Tony Ward's website; it’s so rare that it’s not even posted on the designer’s Instagram, so there’s no risk of guests having seen it before. The print/flowers are handmade, sewn in raffia and finished with tiny clear beads for a soft, subtle shine.

Inside the skirt, there were strings that allowed the train to fold inward for the party. I had them cut off, but I highly recommend having a seamstress add this feature back—it’s a game changer for dancing. I’m happy to explain exactly how it was done.

The dress has been professionally dry-cleaned and pressed. It may wrinkle slightly during shipping, so a light steam or iron before the big day may be needed.

I'm 5'2 and wore 3" Heels with the dress

I’m usually a size Small. If you’re slimmer and plan to have the dress taken in, make sure it fits very snug at first. As the night goes on and with body heat, the fabric does relax slightly. Since it’s strapless, you’ll want it fitted tight rather than loose.
