I tried on about 50 dresses and this was the very first dress I put on and thought "Finally! I feel like a bride!"
I bought the dress from Eternal Bridal in Armadale, who had the dress made for me in New York by designer Hayley Paige.
It is an Ivory strapless natural waist bridal ball gown with silk radzmir crossover bodice, full tulle skirt with horsehair flounces and chapel train. I am 5.2 in height, so had the dress made perfectly for my height with 4.5inch heels on.
I also purchased the most gorgeous veil which was tulle, medium in length and has a ribbon edge. I purchased the veil for $400, however am happy to throw this in with my complements to the lucky bride who purchases this stunning dress.

Once the gown arrived from New York I took it to 'Bride's of Brighton' to have some alterations done so it fitted perfectly. Alterations included:
*reshape of the bust , involving boning and fabric inserts, and adjustment of rouching.
* reduction of the corset size at the midriff
* a petticoat hoop
The above alterations cost $525, however it was worth every cent. The alterations took the dress from looking nice to looking stunning when on.
