The Dress

***FEATURED IN STYLE ME PRETTY!*** Stunning, romantic BERTA Wedding Dress with special bespoke details!

Athens Collection 19-101

Purchased at the Wedding Club London. Worn once, dry cleaned and in pristine condition.

Couture Berta design with a perfect hourglass silhouette, creating a super flattering body shape. The corset style bodice with boning and structured cups ensures you are secure, waist is cinched in, but at the same time it is very comfortable, easy to move, sit and dance in. Dress has a nude coloured layer with subtle dotted pattern making it very modern and detailed. Beautiful lace detailing throughout with 3D lace floral appliqués create dimension. Subtle clear sequins to add extra sparkle (particularly in the light/sunlight) elevating the look further. It has a long train with horsehair trim that gives it some more volume/slight weight at the bottom which makes the train always 'photo-ready' and will not be twisting around. See-through corset at the back with boning detail, showing off a low v-shaped back, and slight cinching at the bottom creating a lovely rounded and flatting shape.

Our wedding was featured in Style Me Pretty with an exclusive on this dress***

Straps:
Berta straps are detachable. They can be worn over the shoulders, off-shoulder or removed.

I have made alterations and added bespoke details, which were completed by Wedding Club's official tailor who is also a designer. Includes original Berta garment bag.

Alterations:
I wanted a very unique, never-seen before BERTA dress with wow factor and drama, so I worked with the tailor/designer to create bespoke details to the dress as well as additional pieces to create a second look.

1. Bespoke delicate lace scalloping just peeking through on the bra cups of the dress
2. Bespoke off the shoulder straps/sleeves which detachable. Made of tulle and with the same Berta lace flowers, sewn to perfectly match the position of the lace flowers on the back and front, so when worn it looks as if the lace flowers from the dress continue onto the straps. Fall off the shoulder loosely in a modern way, and is very flattering when taking pictures (when considering the arms).
3. Bespoke veil, elegant and classy with dramatic 5 meters of length (which can then be cut accordingly depending on the length desired)
4. Bespoke overskirt, with 5 meters of beautiful layers of ivory and nude/blush tulle. It has the same BERTA floral appliqués from the waist, flowing down, which highlights this gorgeous dramatic custom skirt that just glides down the aisle. The overskirt is detachable with easy/discreet hooks which attach onto the dress. The overskirt designed to be very modern, elegant and does not make the hips appear more large(not at all like a traditional "princess" style dress). I wore the overskirt for the ceremony, for a dramatic entrance down the aisle and took it off for the reception/dinner so I had 2 looks. I wore the custom straps for the ceremony and changed the straps for the reception again to show 2 looks. This is the show stopper piece and no bride will have had this before as it is 100% custom designed.

Bespoke straps included in the price. Bespoke overskirt and veil are also for sale (but not included in the price). Please inquire with me if you are interested in these two pieces.

More photos upon request. Will consider shipping, however pick up preferred.
