The Dress

This beautiful one-off dress was purchased from The Farnham Boutique Bridal Wear shop pre-Covid and by the time my wedding arrived in Aug 2021 (after 4 date changes!) I was pregnant and unfortunately unable to fit in it/wear it. I didn't even get the chance to attend the second or final fitting so this dress remains new and unworn, with only a few minor alterations. It is a beautifully made and comfortable dress that fitted me like a glove when I tried it on for the first time as a size 10, hence only small changes. The lace detail is just stunning and it shows off your body shape perfectly. I really hope this dreamy dress can find a new home and goes to someone who loves it just as much as I did the first time I put it on. The photos are from the original photoshoot (which I have been given permission to use) and the dress remains in the same perfect condition it was in when I purchased it. It has been kept in a breathable dress bag and has been hung up in a smoke and pet free home since its purchase.

Alterations

Following the initial visit to the bridal shop and ahead of any further fittings (which never took place) the following minor alternations were made:
* straps shortened slightly
* the fit adjusted, the dress made smaller from the bust to hips by 5cm
* shaped a bit more around the thighs, to make it a stronger fishtail
* added bustle, to bustle the train in the evening
