The Dress

This is a Berta-inspired mermaid gown that I had customized for my wedding earlier this year (March 2018). The dress is very elegant and boasts of intricate lace and sequin details all over. With a sweetheart bustier neckline, this is one of the most breathtaking and flattering looks for wedding gowns! The bust area is padded (pads can be removed if you wish), so you won't have to worry about wearing an actual bra with this gown.

The corset back of the dress has been created with an illusion of a drop that reaches about two inches above your waist. This is complemented with a sheer lace detailing that helps to accentuate the arch of your back - truly, truly stunning!

The train of the dress measures approximately 1 metre in length with lace organza trimmings all around. There is also intricate floral embroidery all around the edge of the train, giving it an all round glamorous look and feel!

I received endless compliments for my dress even up till today! It is such a well-made piece that is so very, very loved! I thoroughly enjoyed wearing it throughout the day, and could not have chosen something more perfect for my big day. Right after the wedding, I sent the dress in for professional dry cleaning. The dress is in perfect condition with no tears or stains.

My usual size is a US 0 / UK 6. These are the measurements that were used by the tailor (dress was made to accommodate 5" heels): Bust: 80 cm Waist: 66 cm Hips: 85 cm Hollow to Floor: 135cm Height (Bare Foot): 160cm. I was wearing the Badgley Mischka Thelma Dress Heels (5 inches) with the dress.

The all-in cost for customizing this dress was approximately SGD11,200, and am selling it for a huge discount now. Only premium quality material was chosen and the amount of detailing that you can find on this dress is truly unparalleled. Now, I hope that this dress will be make you feel just as special as I did on your special day!
