This dress is a couture, one-of-a-kind gown custom made by Brisbane designers MXM Couture -
http://www.mxmcouture.com/ I fit sizes 8-10, so the dress is a generous size 8. The cut is extremely flattering, this is MXM's trademark design - showing off a woman's curves and giving the most flattering shape for you on your wedding day. I felt completely comfortable and confident in it. There is no need for any shape wear to be worn underneath, nor a bra - the dress has lining which is like built in shape wear to smooth curves and has a built in padded bra to the bodice. The fishtail skirt is beautiful and gives true wow factor. The back features a transparent material - making the back look deceivingly low cut. The back does up with tiny clips (like on a bra) and are totally hidden, giving a seamless finish. The material used is extremely high quality, MXM only use the best fabrics. All lace is imported from France and all beading is hand sewn. The skirt has layers of tulle which let the light show through beautifully in the sunlight, over the top of the fish tail outline. It really is a stunning dress, I received so many comments on the dress on my wedding day. It is very comfortable and the material moulds with your body heat and is not constrictive at all. This dress is definitely unique, elegant and breathtaking, and the quality of the cut/shape of the dress is not something you will find in an off-the-rack wedding dress. I wore it with a cathedral length veil made out of the same fabric of the dress and it has the same French lace on the hemline of the veil. Price includes veil and also a hand beaded head piece, also handmade by MXM Couture. It has only been worn once for my wedding in August 2014, and then professionally dry cleaned with MXM'S specialist dry cleaner in Brisbane and stored correctly in a dress bag since.
