The Dress

This stunning beaded Amabel gown by Rachel Gilbert is wildly flattering! It was worn for about 3 hours for our elopement in New Zealand.

The dress has had the hemline lifted to touch the ground at 165cm, otherwise unaltered! It labelled as a 0 which is street dress size 6 :)

It's a very delicate, hand-beaded gown with a classic shape and a very elegant V-back. Invisible zip at the back of the gown. Despite being entirely beaded it's very understated and not at all heavy, the beading becomes less dense towards the hem for a light floaty quality where the skirt touches the ground.

The cinched waist and soft fabric give the dress a two-piece appearance, as we had a winter wedding I paired it with a mohair balloon sleeved jumper and it looked fabulous!

I absolutely adore this dress and it was such a joy to wear it on our amazing wedding day, I hope that another bride can make amazing memories wearing this dress too

Alterations

This dress had the hem lifted to kiss the ground at 165cm- Due to the nature of the fabric it had to be cut and sewn by hand and the beautiful seamstress kept the beads in case any repairs were required or if you want to add them to your veil etc :)
