The Dress

Congratulations, this is such an exciting time - I loved planning my wedding and finding the perfect dress! And find it I did. I decided on the 'Evonne' gown by Madi Lane simply due to its unique modern lace which is breathtaking. It's one of a kind and stood out from the rest when I was looking. I originally wanted a well known brand name, but when I saw this lace I knew it was something special!

This dress is a strapless sweetheart design with a fit and flare silhouette. I altered quite a bit of the dress which I will detail. The dress is a size 6 US or a size 10 AUS. I am usually a size 6-8 on top and 10 on the bottom. My alterations lady has said that all of her work taking the dress in can be undone around the top to fit a true size 10.

The dress has silk underlining and a long train which follows you beautifully. It has a zip at the back (low back) and then a few buttons without anything underneath them as a feature.

Alterations:
The bust and waist has been altered from a AUS 10 to the below:
Bust: 81cm
Waist: 66cm
Hips (not altered but taken in slightly under the butt): 99cm

- Originally, this dress came with a piece of lace that went over the top of the shoulders. I decided to combine this piece of lace with tulle and create lace sleeves that slid onto my arms. These will come with the dress.
- I ordered extra silk from Madi Lane that matched the dress underlay and made a very flattering thin belt that goes around the waist of the dress. It is attached but can be removed.
- Added bra cups to the top of the dress so I could wear it without a bra as the back is very low.
- Added hook and eyes to the back behind the buttons to ensure the dress stayed put. Cannot see them but essential to keep the dress up as it is heavy because of quality.
- I attached the silk underlay train to the modern lace train so that it would show of the dress when standing still.

The dress will come with a mermaid shaped petticoat so you can walk and my veil.
Dress has been altered (over $400 worth) and professionally dry cleaned, I have receipts for both.
It is VERY flattering, comfortable, classic and extremely beautiful.
