The Dress

Update: Need to sell due to limited space. Please make an offer if you are interested 💕

This is the breathtaking couture Sapphire dress by Suzanne Neville. I can't believe the time has come to let go of this beauty, worn with so much love on my wedding day in October 2022.

CONDITION
I wore it until the reception when I made a switch to another dress (so no dance floor for this one to save the condition). I also did not wear fake tan. See more details on dry cleaning below.

THE DRESS
From the moment I slipped into this gown, I knew it was my dress, and now, I'm excited for it to be a part of someone else's magical day. I received so many compliments, even from my husband's friends who couldn't stop talking about the quality of the fabric. It's a dress that not only makes you look stunning but also makes you feel it.

This dress isn't just a dress; it's an experience. Crafted from the most exquisite silk mikado, it felt like a dream against my skin. The hidden corset waist and delicate button detailing at the back added a touch of sophistication, making me feel like a modern-day princess. And can we talk about the pockets? They are not visible, but came in so handy to lift the skirt when walking to avoid finger prints on the skirt. A great tip from the designer herself 💕

One of my favorite features has to be the off-the-shoulder sleeves, the buttons in the back and the corset. It not only cinched my waist but also provided a level of comfort I didn't expect on my wedding day. I honestly didn't want to take it off! The stunning A-line silhouette flowed effortlessly, turning every step into a graceful dance.

FLAGSHIP STORE & DRY CLEANING
I bought this gem at Suzanne Neville's flagship store in London. To keep this dress in its pristine condition, I entrusted it to the care of Terrington Burchett, who came recommended by Suzanne Neville, who worked their magic with the recommended "Splendour - Cleaning and Classic Design Preservation Box Package" in Endsleigh Ivory (285£). The result? Impeccable, with only the faintest marks at the hem edge and lining that you would not notice once on according to the dry cleaning technician - report available on request.

As much as I wish I could wear it again, I'm excited about the possibility of this dress becoming a cherished part of someone else's love story. If you're interested, I'd love to share a video of the dress with you, and answering any questions you might have. And if you're in the UK, we can arrange for a seamless delivery. Here's to hoping this couture Sapphire dress continues its journey, spreading joy and elegance to another beautiful bride. 💕

I am 5 feet 5 inches (166 cm) and I paired it with a 3-inch heel (8cm).
