The Dress

Stunning ivory Wedding dress by French designer Eglantine. The dress name is 'Zeste' - it's a beautiful, modern wedding dress purchased in April 2019 for £1299.00 from Abigail's Collection in Colchester, Essex.

A line, halter style with a deep V neckline. Stunning sheer lace detailed body with delicate beaded 'belt' feature accentuating the waist. Sheer back with button from neck down to skirt.

Worn once in July 2019. Purchased size 16 from the designer, true fit is a UK size 12-14. I am a classic pear shape - smaller waist with larger hips and bottom - and this dress highlighted my 'best bits' perfectly. Whilst the deep V neckline is low, it is well cut and I felt confident and supported all day.

I felt like an absolute princess all day - this dress is just too beautiful to stay in a box! I hope another bride can feel just as magical as I felt on my wedding day.

Purchased size 16 from the designer, true fit is a UK size 12-14. Alterations to original size - 1/2 inch lift at the shoulder, nude modesty pads in the cups and shortened. Bride height - 5'7, worn with flat shoes. Professionally cleaned and sold in original packaging.

Shoulder to hem: 43 inch
Bust: 40 inch
Waist: 34 inch
Hem: 203 inch
