The Dress

Beautiful mermaid / fit and flare dress which is classic, feminine, and has an absolutely gorgeous fine French satin appliques and a beautiful elegant sweetheart neckline. It has a beautiful long train so I ended up just wearing a small veil as I wanted to show this for gorgeous train. With a long veil it would look fabulous, too. Everyone complemented me about how elegant and beautiful the dress is. It also makes a wonderful figure!

Alterations

I usually wear between XS and S (EU 34/36). This one is solid UK8. I kept it all the same just shortened the length slightly and tightened the waist very minorly. I didn’t wear a corsage underneath but I think if you do and you are a UK8 it would fit perfectly as then you will get the waist.
