The Dress

This modern Justin Alexander A-Line dress will make you feel like a true bride. The fabric is Mikado, which has a luxurious feel, and a gentle shine to it when catching the sunlight. The long train added a real 'wow factor' as I walked down the aisle, making the photos romantic and elegant. The deep v-back was my favourite part, turning a classic dress into something more youthful and interesting. The bow at the back added a feminine touch, another focal point for the photos. There's also hidden pockets in the dress, and some ribbons were placed underneath the train to bustle up the dress for dancing.

The bow is detachable if you prefer the dress without. For the evening, I swapped the bow for a beaded Justin Alexander belt. This added sparkle and glamour as it glistened under the lights (see last photo, sold separately if interested). I changed into a different party dress for the late-night dancing, to protect this dress as I knew I would be selling it afterwards. Fortunately for you this means it is in excellent condition with no drink spills! :)

I had so many compliments on the day that the dress was "absolutely stunning".

If you have any questions or would like to see different or more specific photos get in touch. I would be happy to help!

Alterations

I bought size 8 dress, but my waist and bust size is closer to a 6 street size. So in line with my measurements (included in this listing), the bust was slightly altered so it fitted my chest more smoothly at the front, and the waist slightly taken in. I had it taken up at the bottom so it sat in line with the floor (I am 164cm, and wore shoes that were 9.5cm height, so 173.5cm in total). The shoe-string shoulder straps were tightened slightly so they did not fall off my shoulders. I had a cup stitched on the right breast as it's slightly smaller than my left one, but it can be un-picked to be removed if required.
I also had a few ribbons placed underneath the dress so it could be bustled up while I was dancing. Unfortunately one was missing when I went to do the bustle on the wedding day, so I used the built-in ribbon that comes standard with the dress to wear around my wrist instead and pick the train up off the floor. But the foundations of a bustle are underneath if you wanted to add another ribbon or two.
