The Dress

I wore this dress for my wedding blessing in November 2023. I wore two dresses that day and because of that only had this on for less than an hour and the condition of the dress (perfect!) is indicative of this. It has been cleaned and has no visible marks on it. It's a perfect, timeless Hepburn-style dress that lends itself to any type of wedding.

The dress has boning inside it which meant that a bra was unnecessary and I had the detachable top (included) made to fit inside of the dress which I was very grateful for as it was cold! The dressmaker matched the satin of the dress to the cuffs of the sleeves and also the tiny satin-covered buttons on the back of the dress matched the buttons on the cuffs.

I wore flat shoes (I'm 5 feet six and a half) and felt absolutely brilliant in the dress-it would be lovely to for another bride to wear this dress and feel as special in it as I did.

Alterations

The dress was bought in a size 14 and altered to a size 10/12. I wore the dress with flat shoes and I'm 169 cm (approximately 5 feet and 6 1/2 inches).
As you'll see from the picture, the dress includes the detachable top that was custom-made to match the fabric of the dress. This is attached to the dress with plastic press studs to provide two distinct looks.
