The Dress

Fall & Winter Brides! One of the most sophisticated, clean, and feminine gowns I tried. What sold me was the fabric (and the design but I’ll get to that later). The fabric is rich and luxurious, yet forgiving. I felt so comfortable in it and it highlighted the female form beautifully.

On the design, I looked all over for a gown that had elegant arm coverage as our wedding was scheduled for late fall. I have thick arms in proportion to my body and I love that this dress addressed my arm insecurities :)

Also, I felt I had this whole Megan Markle/Mary Poppins vibe going and dreamed of rocking a fascinator with the gown. Note the fascinator is not included! Just wanted to share my vision.

For a few happy reasons, we moved our wedding date up to summer. So another dress was in order. I actually purchased my summer dress on this site and had a great experience!

The CUSHNIE gown is brand new, never worn, no alterations. And not to mention, super unique.

Some additional info straight from the CUSHNIE site:
Carly Cushnie is known for her clean, minimalist approach and she brings that philosophy to her debut bridal collection. Cut from ivory crepe and fully lined in silk for a flattering fit, this gown hugs the figure before flaring to a fluted hem that will elegantly trail behind you as you walk down the aisle. It has chic cape sleeves that beautifully frame the cutout back.

- Ivory crepe
- Concealed hook and zip fastening at back
- 97% viscose, 3% elastane; lining: 95% silk, 5% elastane
- Dry clean

Exuding timeless elegance with a sense of simplicity and ease, the CUSHNIE gown embodies refined sensuality for the modern bride.
