The Dress

This dress was my dream wedding dress - so elegant, light and feminine! It has a beautiful swooshy skirt, a subtle train and a scooped low back. Embroidered tulle long-sleeve top (finishes just above the wrist bone for a delicate feel) with cut out detailing at the waist giving it a modern twist! A supple tulle wrap skirt gathered at the waist and lined in satin.

This dress was bought brand new from exclusive bridal boutique The Mews in Notting Hill. Margaux Tardits is a high end French designer. So if you’re looking for something unusual, unique and beautiful, this is the dress for you.

This dress was lightweight and amazingly comfortable to wear all day on my wedding day. The skirt swishes beautifully with the tulle overlay giving it a whimsical feel. It made for some fantastic first dance photographs!

My favourite feature was the low scoop back and the delicate embroidery on the bodice and arms - no two Alcazar dresses are exactly the same! I also loved the high side slit in the satin lining of the dress which allows some skin to show through the tulle at times while remaining elegant. This added an element of fun but kept it bridal.

I had the dress made at the designers in Paris based on my measurements which was based on a French 42 (my usual size is a UK 10-12). My wedding day was in December 2019 therefore it’s still a very recent design and in decent condition. It has been professionally dry cleaned since my wedding day. There are sporadic skags and holes at the bottom of the tulle overlay which was impossible to avoid wearing high heels due to the delicate nature of the material. Other than that, the dress is in great condition so I would suggest just getting the tulle overlay repaired or replaced on top of the satin skirt layer. The dress comes packaged in the original Margaux Tardits dress bag.

Alterations

I had the lace arms made tighter so that the material sits snug against the skin.

As the skirt material was a little bit see through due to its delicate nature, I paid an additional £150 for a luxurious mousseline lining to be added to the skirt which didn’t impact the weight or movement at all of the skirt, it remained super lightweight and soft!

I also had the train shortened but only slightly. I had a small button discretely added to the back on the dress so that the train could be hooked up for dancing!

All alternations were done professionally by the dress makers in house at The Mews in Notting Hill. With the exception of the mousseline layer which was added by the designers in Paris.
