The Dress

My beautiful Nima dress was only worn the once at my wedding in November 2017. It was the perfect dress - unique and very comfortable and flattering. I wore a normal t-shirt bra and had loops added to make sure the bra moved with the dress and was therefore not visible at all during the day. I am an average size AU 14 and don't believe the label of the dress sizing was anything close to what I was on the day. I can provide the measurements the bridal store gave me of the dress.

My seamstress didn't alter the bust of my dress at all and therefore it sat quite loosely on me. I would have had it taken in a bit in hindsight as I lost a little weight the few days before the wedding. It didn't matter too much as the material also has a fair bit of stretch in it - it is not designed to sit tight and the beads and sequins weren't at all itchy or noticeable on my skin when I moved.

It would fit a true AU size 14 or a larger breasted woman... I wear a size 14B bra. It can also be taken in quite easily at the sides. The tulle is Spanish, meaning it is soft and falls elegantly. It did not cling to itself whatsoever. There is also a satin lining under the tulle. I wore simple nude coloured bikini style underwear. The dress has been fully and professionally dry cleaned which cost $350.

People who live nearby (Wodonga) are welcome to try it on. Anyone in or near the Melbourne area can also try it on at the Bridal Atelier in Prahran where I purchased my dress... the only place you can get it in Victoria. In all honesty this is a wonderfully worn dress in great condition. I would happily have bought it if I could have found the right one before my big day - unfortunately my size never came up on this site. I am only selling it to justify to myself what I paid for it in the first place...( you only do it once, right?)

Please don't hesitate with any questions. I hope someone out there will love it as much as I do.

Dress has only been hemmed at the front to allow a train at the back. I would say I am of average height. There are no tears in the tulle as far as I could find anywhere. There are a few very small pulls in the tulle at the bottom on the train which are not visible as there are multiple layers of tulle. A few beads and sequins around the arm pit area are missing, I think just from wear and being hugged so much throughout the day. It's not noticeable unless you look closely and I have spares that I am happy to include. I didn't notice it until the dry cleaner pointed it out.
