The Dress

STELLA YORK 6933 VINTAGE STYLE - ADAPTED

I normally sit between a 12 and 14 Australian sizing depending on the brand. I have a broad back and a smaller waist. To be honest I probably could have had the waist made smaller but it was left intact. It was a bit roomy FOR me.

I'm an ex swimmer and don't like my arms - So I had a seamstress (who makes dresses for "A list" events) add sleeves and shorten the train significantly whilst maintaining the flow of the beautiful design at the back and the way it fell to the floor and swung when I moved.

This dress is a Cotton-style vintage lace that creates a floral explosion throughout the fitted silhouette, its a stand out against the neutral Georgette lining for a multi-dimensional look. A combination of French and eyelash laces finish the hem and neckline for a touch of old-world charm, while the V-neckline with wide lace straps feels casual yet classic. It managed to combine an air of class with sexiness. I'm in love with this dress.

The back of this gown features an incredible floral lace design that complements the floating fabric buttons, and the delicate yet multi-layered train flows out from beneath the hips to create an enviably feminine shape.

It has a lovely ivory over lay of fabric over a latte undergrown. At times it threw a silver tone seen in some of the pictures.

I felt so comfortable in this dress and I honestly can say I felt completely beautiful. I actually don't want to part with it. So this is bitter sweet for me. I just hope that someone else can feel as wonderful as I did.

I paid for additional $800 in fabric and motifs for the sleeves ( some motifs remaining and I will sell with the dress- plus a stack of spare genuine Stella York buttons button I purchased) Alterations cost $1000. This dress was a $4000+ gown once fully adapted.

It hasn't had the waist or any other areas resized so it will be fine for resizing if needed. I was advised by the bridal shop it could be adjusted 2 sizes comfortably.

I'm happy to throw in my custom made wedding "clutch" bag which cost $180 for free. Ask me for pictures if that's attractive to you.

Alterations

The dress had sleeves added with genuine matching material purchased from Stella York when dress was ordered. Sheer undersleeve and then lace fabric on arms - multiple motifs added to tie in with dress design by high class seamstress.
The train was shortened significantly and lace border readjusted to accommodate new train.
