The Dress

Dress description:
The following description is from Pronovias website: Flared dress in crepe with nude underlay, lace bodice, with bateau neckline front and back. Three-quarter length sleeves. Flared crepe skirt with Chantilly lace appliques. Grosgrain belt.
This dress would work in any season – light enough to wear in spring and summer, but also covered enough to wear in winter. The lace detail on the top of the dress is beautiful and it daintily weaves its way down the sides of the plain skirt. I hope the pictures do it justice.

Original purchase details:
This dress was originally ordered as brand new in October 2016 from Windsor and Eton Brides, made and delivered in early 2017. Windsor and Eton Brides are an official retailer selling Pronovias wedding dresses. Only selling because its too beautiful to live its life in a wardrobe, no matter how well cared for and how much I love it!

Measurements:
The dress was made to fit a UK size 14 woman – approximate measurements of the dress are included (please note that these are not from the seamstress but simply myself measuring the dress on a flat surface, so they are approximate). From top of the shoulders to bottom of the front skirt, this dress is 163cm. The back of the dress is longer, as the dress comes down into a full skirt/train. There are loops and fixings attached to the underside of the dress so that it can be pinned up for ease of walking/dancing, which also looks really classy.

Cleaning:
The dress was worn once in May 2017. Following that it was professionally cleaned, including all under-skirt layers and top skirt. There were no serious or problematic stains (such as food/drink), it was merely to remove dirt naturally picked up from walking in the dress. It has since been stored in a wedding dress carrier, in a pet-free, smoke-free home.

Alterations

Alterations were made by a professional seamstress, which included adjustments to the waist and slightly lowering the lace neckline. No alterations are obvious or make the dress look any different to the original picture (they’re incredibly subtle – simply made to help make the dress fit more closely). The dress is simply to adjust should you need any further alterations.
