The Dress

Berta 19-101 Wedding Gown.

Stunning, romantic gown by Berta! Part of the Athens Fall/Winter 2019 collection - Berta 19-101

Lots of sparkle and bold floral design. White floral appliqués with lots of sequins in the centers, overlaid on a nude/sand coloured layer with a dotted pattern, over a layer of sequins that catch the light and really give it that something extra. Berta’s designs and craftsmanship are noticeably at a whole other level compared to most wedding gown designers. Built-in bodysuit and corset-style bodice with boning and structured cups create that perfect hourglass silhouette that Berta is known for, and it is still incredibly comfortable, easy to move around in and not too heavy. It has a long train with horsehair trim that gives it some more volume at the bottom and makes the train always 'photo-ready'. See-through corset at the back. Straps can either go over the shoulders, draping or can be removed entirely.

Originally $10,300 + $700 in alterations.

The gown is a size 42 EUR. I wore 3 inch heels and am 5’6”. My veil is 144 inches and light ivory. I will include the veil in the purchase. Alterations were only done to shorten the dress and add a bustle ($700 alterations package). I was just married 10/1 and the dress has been professionally dry cleaned by a wedding gown specialist.

My measurements on my wedding day are as follows:

Bust 35"

Waist 29"

Hip 35.5"

Bum 38”

Cup size C
