The Dress

Beautiful Pronovias wedding dress, worn once! The dress was comfortable and extremely glamorous. It made me feel like a princess from the moment I put it on. The neckline is v neck but the beading on the V is exceptionally beautiful and has a sheer panel across so it shows a little cleavage but is not revealing due to the decoration and sheer fabric.

All of the finer details are still perfect. The only slight damage was to the bottom of the dress where it’s a little worn and frayed.. but it’s not visible at all when it’s on. It was a little damaged from all the dancing we did! It can be very easily repaired. It won’t need a professional to do the small repair, a mum with some white thread will do it. The appearance of the dress itself it not affected.

Alterations

I actually got pregnant on the day I bought the dress, was not due to wear it for a while year later. So it obviously needs alterations after I had my son. These have been done perfectly and make the dress more comfortable where it may have been restrictive before. I was breastfeeding when I wore it and my body had changed. My son was 11 weeks old on the wedding day.
Alterations were- 1. The back below where the dress naturally finished, was altered and a corset around the bottom area put in place to accommodate my larger bottom. See pictures.
2. The straps were shortened to allow for my bigger bust so it was more secure (I had breast pads in too!) the structure of the dress meant I didn’t need a bra and this was very comfortable on the day
