The Violet is part of Jeanelle L'Amour Bridal's Avatar collection, and I purchased it as a new dress in 2021. This dress has not been worn, and since purchase has been stored securely in dry conditions within a dress storage bag.

This dress is exceptionally forgiving, it emphasises your waistline beautifully and the material is light enough to be cool in warm weather, but heavy enough not to cling to your stomach or hips and allow free movement. Size can also easily be altered down to a smaller size. The train and lining is also fitted with a handy hook and eye so can be taken up for dancing.

It is extremely comfortable, and easy to move in. The bottom of the dress has a firm batting which kicks out when you walk, so you don't have to worry about tripping as you move around on your big day.

The material on the shoulders can also be cut shorter or removed completely.

Also included with this dress are Veil Wings (White) which can be attached for the ceremony for some additional length and drama - these were purchased in lieu of a traditional veil, and the 6th and 7th images demonstrate the contrast between the dress alone and the dress when worn with the veil wings.
