The Dress

This was the first dress I tried on and despite shopping around I’d fallen in love with it. It just felt so unique and really stood out when most other dresses I’d tried felt quite similar. The dress was fitted but not tight and the material such good quality that it held its shape without being too heavy.

On the day of the wedding I was amazed just how special I felt in this dress and everyone commented on how striking the back of the dress was. I can honestly say I was also super comfortable all day.

The dress was worn once and sent for dry cleaning immediately following the wedding. My seamstress also checked the dress to make sure there was no damage anywhere.

Alterations

The dress was adjusted slightly as I was advised to buy slightly bigger than my usual size. I bought the size 12 and it was taken in slightly so it fit perfectly but not so much that it was tight.
