The Dress

Arabella by Galia Lahav.

I am filled with regret to part with this magical gown.

In perfect condition.
‘Arabella’ gown from Galia Lahav Haute Couture, the collection 'Le Secret Royal”.

This luxurious, perfectly sculpted gown will complete your fairytale wedding day. I loved every second wearing it and I’m sure you will as well!

Purchased from Eternal Bridal Sydney.

This haute couture gown has meticulous attention to detail and the finest tailoring.

Sheer sleeves and bodice. Romantic voluminous dress made of pink and ivory layered silk tulle, embellished entirely with hand sewn 3D free floating silk flowers, crystals and handsewn beading. Gown has built in cups and I added a hidden bustle for a first dance (fully concealed).
Illusion plunging neckline and illusion sleeves that are made from stretch fabric so they should fit to your arm and can easily be taken in or out as they have an inside seam.

I am 172cm tall, 59kg with 32C-D cup size. Aus 6-8 dress size.
Would fit Size 6-8; at the time of my wedding I was a Size 6. The dress can be sized down or up easily as it is A-line and has a reasonable give/stretch to it.

In perfect condition and dry cleaned at Sydney’s premier boutique dry cleaning (who also does all Vera Wang’s dry cleaning).

Please contact me with any questions! This is an incredible gown.

Alterations

Minimal alterations - all performed by Sydney's top haute couture bridal seamstress, came highly recommended.
1. I added a hidden bustle (one button) although barely used it in the end. Completely hidden!
2. Minimal hemming performed, so it essentially remained the same length as original - Strictly I hemmed about 2cm... (I am quite tall, 172.5cm and decided to keep it extra long on the day, see pictures!)
3. I reduced the decolletage gap space very slightly (removed *2cm* of mesh from the centre) as it had looked a bit toooo wide apart unaltered for me. Once again you cannot tell that any work has been done at all, but the decolletage area is *very slightly* less revealing now, which allowed me to feel more comfortable on the day, to feel still sexy yet classy in front friends and family!
