The Dress

This stunning dress was designed by Sydney couturier Alison Davis for my wedding in Sydney on October 12, 2018.
I consulted with incredibly talented Alison for 6 months (via Marry Me Bridal, in Mosman) over the hand sewn design and she made a number of personal touches that made it turn out even more beautiful than I could have hoped. It photographed flawlessly and I felt like a veritable goddess wearing this dress! I hope you'll have the chance to feel the way I did as it's simple too stunning not to be worn again.
There's some extra special elements to this dress that will make it a hit on the day. It is sophisticated and alluring with the figure hugging skirt, which is SO soft. Then there is delicately detailed lace and mesh neckline that leaves your back bare. It is also feminine and elegant, with the tulle overlay softening the lines, giving the hand embroided flower detailing a stunning blur effect and adding voluminous drama with the light train. The full ensemble was perfect for the daytime ceremony and for the evening you can do what I did, and take the tulle off for a more dramatic , cocktail look that allows you to dance the night away!
The dress was originally a 3 piece set (body suit, skirt and tulle overlay), however Alison made it into a two piece (dress + tulle overlay) for me. This gives you the flexibility on your special day to change your look over the course of the evening as the two pieces can be worn independently.
While I initially fell in love with the Cassandra Gown, I wanted to customise it to suit my style, so Alison added floral hand-embroidery flowers climbing up to the bodice from the skirt. Once I took off the tulle skirt for the reception, it really added that special extra touch - and felt like I was wearing a new outfit!
If you visit Alison's Facebook page you can see a number of close up photos and videos she took of the flowers and petals that were handsewn on: https://www.facebook.com/alisondaviscollection/
There's also a close up of the embroidery and petals from Alison's page in my gallery, plus a snap of what the dress looks like without the tulle.
The dress accentuates curves in all the right places and it is incredibly comfortable to wear with the skirt a light silk with a bit of stretch and the intricately placed flower bodice is smooth on your skin. I am a small C cup, and choose not to wear a silicon cup under my dress as I had enough support without, however you could certainly add this is you wanted (not included)
I'm 168cm tall and wore a small pair of heels with the dress that were 5cm high. The dress can be altered in length.
The dress has been freshly dry cleaned by Michelle’s dry cleaner in Paddington for $500 who were recommended to me by Marry Me Bridal Mosman .
I am happy to provide measurements of this dress upon request. If you're in Sydney I'm also more than happy to have you pop by to try the dress on - I work in the city and live in the Eastern Suburbs (Rose Bay).
I ordered a size 8 top/bodysuit and a size 8 skirt. The only alterations were on the lace above my shoulders which were slightly shortened.
Please ask any question you want! More photos available as required.

Alterations

The mesh above my shoulders which were slightly shortened so there was no bunching of the mesh.
Additionally, Alison added some additional flower details down the sides of the skirt in the same material as the bodice.
