The Dress

**I purchased this dress from StillWhite and while it was in transit I realized I wanted to go in a different direction. The images and description below are from the original seller. The dress is in the US (all fees and duties paid for). I tried the dress on once, it really is lovely and comfortable. I usually wear a size 8, 5'10", with a 36D chest, and it fits me almost perfectly, I would just take the waist in by a hair. It's safely packed away, waiting for its big day.

I wanted a gown that was comfortable and suited a beach wedding without compromising on style. The lace pattern and natural/nude colour is unique. I had tried on several gowns and jumpsuits, but this was by far the most comfortable of all and I felt amazing in it. I received many compliments about the gown from friends, family and wedding vendors.

It was easy to dance in and comfy to sit down in also. The gown includes a wrist loop and bustle, so that you can pick up the gown with the wrist loop when walking around getting photos. It is convenient to bustle the train later in the evening for dancing.

Size
I normally wear an AU size 12 top and bottom. I wore 4 cm wedged sandals on the day. I am 173 cm without shoes.

Description of the gown from the One Day Bridal website: The sister of our ‘Lotte’ gown, meet ‘London’ with geometric lace and a plunging neckline. London’s neckline brings all the drama, but forget the ease, the bodice is supported with illusion tulle and custom cups. This streamline silhouette is finished with a mermaid skirt, plunging back and buttons.

Dry Cleaning:
The gown is in excellent condition. It was dry cleaned a week after the wedding at ‘Be a Star Bridal’ in Melbourne who specialise in dry cleaning wedding gowns.

Alterations
Shortening of the straps and tightening of the waistline.
