The Dress

The most flattering, incredible dress. It felt like a dream wearing it and I have had so many compliments.

Crafted in beautiful heavyweight silk drill satin, Le Belle features a corseted bodice that meets a box pleated full A-line skirt, while a sculptured drop shoulder adds a modern twist to a sweetheart neckline. Pockets and a high side split add a touch of casual ease.

I am normally an 8, but i like the oversized fit for me - very easily taken in if required. I was self conscious about how it would sit on my heaps and how my cleavage would look - I wore a bra with the dress, but you could easily go braless - and it fell so beautifully on my waist/hips.

I had a second dress, and my gown was drycleaned the day after so it's in fantastic condition.

Alterations

Hem was trimmed to my height but it was still slightly too long so if you're a little taller than me it won't be an issue.

2x bustles
- loop for wrist
- one-point bustle which takes the train up. Hooks on to a button (i had 5 buttons reinforced so there's options for length)
