The Dress

This is a Rosa Clara Nambia dress in a gently shimmering light ivory brocade. It's a classic design with an off-the-shoulder boat neck, a flattering nipped waist, and full length tulip skirt.
What I loved about this dress is that it was clearly designed intelligently with the bride's needs in mind. First amazing feature: it has pockets! This was invaluable on the day.
Secondly, it has a wonderful detachable train. This effectively makes it two dresses in one. With the train on, it was a show-stopper with a full cathedral train for my ceremony. I was then able to clip the train off, conveniently transforming my dress into a beautiful party piece for my reception that allowed me to dance all night.
I particularly loved the brocade fabric and tailored design, which I found to be flattering and timeless. Many guests remarked that the style was elegant and classy.
I was very careful with the dress and it did not get any stains that I could see. It was dry cleaned by a wedding dress specialist the day after the wedding, and is now hanging in the Rosa Clara dress cover bag pictured, waiting for its next owner.
I dearly loved this dress and at first I couldn't conceive of selling it. I imagined keeping it as a family heirloom, or even using its material for something else. But it's just too beautiful to waste by putting it up in the attic, and I couldn't bring myself to cut up such a beautiful dress for scraps. I really admire it as a piece of design. Unlike all the wedding dresses I tried on, I immediately felt at home in this dress: comfortable, elegant, looking my best self, and ready for anything. I would love to pass this dress on to another bride to be part of her wonderful day.

Alterations

This dress was altered by a seamstress for my figure. It was shortened to be floor length for me wearing 4 inch/ 10cm shoes (my height is 154.5cm, 165cm with the heels.) It was taken in at the waist and around the bust. I have petite shoulders and an hourglass shape. For guidance, I usually wear tops in an 8-10 UK size, bottoms in a 12, and dresses in a 10.
