Who wouldn't want this gorgeous dress by Mia Solano! It is timeless, elegant, and flattering. Its made with beautiful delicate ivory lace, and includes boning which supports and accentuates your curves creating a lovely shape for any body type. Everyone complimented me on how beautiful they thought the dress was.

Purchased from Luv Bridal and formal in Robina.

I wish I didn't have to part with this beautiful dress, but since I probably won't wear it again i hope that it can bring joy to another brides beautiful day! The dress is still in great condition, it has been dry cleaned and is ready for someone else to fall in love with. I had a thumb loop added so I was able to pin the dress up to my bottom and keep it off the ground for most of the day, apart from walking down the altar and part of the photoshoot.

Alterations include:

- Added bustle - Added thumb loop - changed from straps(V NECK) to off the shoulder for a more modern and flattering look - taken in around the bum- belt sown on (ALSO purchased form love bridal for $179)- Chest and back taken in slightly as they were a bit too big as i had lost some weight before the big day.

No alteration made to the length of the dress. I'm 165cm and wore 8cm heels.

*Description from the website*

This subtle mermaid by Mia Solano is a creature of pure fantasy. In a full corded and scalloped lace, LAKEN possesses minimal boning but enough to create incredible shape throughout the body of the gown. Her skirt flares just above the knee and the lace begin to fold and fall elegantly to the floor where it collects in a chapel length train finished with a scalloped lace trim.
Her sweetheart bodice, easily made strapless, creeps over the shoulders in a sheer lace and borders her back, lowering the line of the gown. The soft scalloped V is secured by a row of covered buttons that extend well beyond the waist further accentuating the mermaid silhouette.

Flaws: Two buttons missing on back, have been replaced with similar ones, can easily be changed again!
