The Dress

Grace Loves Lace Alexandra Rose dress in Ivory (size 16, 80cm train with no alternations), worn for a ceremony and photo only Covid wedding last year (max 10 guests). Sadly I only got to wear it for a couple of hours.

This dress is so comfortable and flattering! I was 9 month post-partum and it was so smoothing and slimming with the double layer stretch lace (this is an update to the previous Alexandra dress which was not as slimming on fuller figures with only the single layer of lace). The lace and cups were so supportive that it was no issue without a bra (Size D cups). The dress was really easy to step into and fasten and comes with a gorgeous bustle which keeps dress from dragging. No photos were taken of bustle from behind but you can see it as per Grace Loves Lace website.

I highly recommend this dress! So flattering, sexy and versatile (especially for fuller figure).
