This is the perfect dress for a minimalist bride! I purchased it from Net-a-Porter in Oct 2021 for my May 2022 wedding. This dress is exclusive to Net-a-porter so you can't find it anywhere else. It was professionally dry cleaned immediately after my wedding. It's best suited for a curvy, petite body given the alternations I made.

Details from their website:
Sometimes the simplest silhouettes can have the most impact - Alex Perry's minimal 'Eliza' gown is guaranteed to look elegant from every angle, so you'll feel confident and beautiful on the big day. Cut from sumptuously weighty satin-crepe, it hugs your figure and flares out just below the thigh to a graceful train that sweeps the floor. The barely-there straps and square neckline frame your décolletage, so sweep a little highlighter across your collarbones.

Size & Fit
Fits true to size, take your normal size
Designed for a close fit
Train hem
Mid-weight, non-stretchy fabric

I found the Net-a-porter size chart to be very accurate. I was in between a UK 10 and UK 12 and opted for the larger size since it's easier to take a dress in vs taking it out.

Alterations

Hemmed overall length including the train
Added push up cups to fill in the chest
Added an American bustle but this broke during my wedding so it's no longer usable/needs to be fixed
Took the chest in a little bit so the fabric would lay flatter
I purchased a larger size to accomodate my hips but my chest is on the smaller size so I didn't fill out the top of the dress
You can see in my photos the fabric doesn't lay flat like it's supposed to
If I had more time, I would've worked with my seamstress to finesse this as it was one of the features that caught my eye while dress shopping!
I'm happy to provide detailed measurements of the dress for serious buyers
