Dress was worn for an outdoor elopement in September 2015 (worn for less than 4 hours!) It is a Maggie Sottero "Melinda" Gown.

Minimal alterations have been made, it's truly a size 4. Sides were brought in at the chest slightly so that it was snug (34B). I shortened the length (i'm 5'3" and wore 3.5 inch wedge heels). The dress has a bit of a train and there is an added bustle (over and under bustle) sewn in very discreetly which is nice for after the ceremony, it really changes the look of the dress when it is bustled.

The dress is tulle over a very chic vintage lace with a sheer embroidered top with some embellishments at the natural waist line. There is a gold colour liner under the lace which gives it a really pretty vintage white colour, not really "ivory". The colour looked much more natural than pure white for an outdoor ceremony.

It is exceptionally comfortable and lightweight. It has been professionally dry-cleaned, but not preserved or anything. I loved wearing this dress, and i'm hoping that someone else can make it their own!
