The Dress

This was my first wedding dress choice but I then changed my mind just a few months prior to the wedding. Oops! It's brand new, sitting in its box with the original receipts from Net-a-Porter.
It is a beautiful dress, elegant but has a relaxed vibe. It would be perfect for a bride that wants a minimal look. It has leg splits on either side so you can show off your shoes and a deep plunging neckline which is why I love it so much!

*Dress is the crepe as shown in the first 3 images but the straps are the same as the 4th image. I believe Michael Lo Sordo has updated the design since I purchased the dress from Net-a-porter. When I purchased the dress I had the intention of removing the second straps, so it can be easily altered.

It is labelled a size 6 but is definitely more suited to 8 or even a 10 as it isn't fitted at all. For reference when I purchased this I was an Australia size 8 with a 12B bust. The dress fit similar to the model and dropped straight down because of this the dress suits a lot of body shapes/types. I would say the dress will fit up to a size 10 but size 8 would be the perfect fit if you want a similar look to the model.

I purchased the last size 6 in early 2019 and it has never been restocked since then so its the perfect unique dress!

I unfortunately cannot send any photos of myself in this dress as it does not fit me anymore. If you would like to see additional images please do a google image search. There are a few available on their of other lovely ladies in their beautiful dresses!

EDITORS’ NOTES
EXCLUSIVE AT NET-A-PORTER.COM. Michael Lo Sordo's 'Alexandra' gown is an elegant choice for special events or low-key brides - whether you're planning a summer wedding in the country or a secluded beach ceremony. Suspended from slim straps, this plunging piece is cut from swathes of lustrous silk crepe de chine to skim the figure before falling to a floor-sweeping hem. We like how the leg-baring front slit creates fluid movement with each step.
