About the Dress

Elbeth Gillis: Georgia - A Fairytale Wedding Dress

Label size = 8 (The true size is a size 6 - Bridal sizes run small!)

Featured in Vogue (check Elbeth Gillis' IG).

Purchased from Angelica Bridal in Islington and tailored at Richard Thompson's.

Magical touches:
- Striking ball-gown silhouette
- Structured corset bodice in Japanese mikado fabric
- Button detail along the back
- Hidden pockets for special-day essentials
- Can be customised with dramatic bow-sleeves or a large kimono bow (via bridal designer).

As a camera-shy bride, I found this dress to be not just beautiful, but also comforting. The pockets were an unexpected sanctuary, giving me something to do with my hands during photos when I felt a bit awkward. The moment I tried on this dress, I was moved to tears. The fabric is even more exquisite in person, and the buttons at the back were talk of the day (and a fun challenge for my bridesmaids to button up)

See the dress in action:
I've included 8 photos showcasing the dress from my wedding day (maximum I'm allowed to upload). You'll see me with my husband and bridesmaids, as well as detailed shots of the front, back, and special features of the gown. For the full magical effect, I’ve also included our wedding video. It captures the dress in motion and truly shows how it comes to life on the big day. The movement of the fabric is just amazing - can't quite explain how sturdy and stunning the Japanese silk is!

Condition:
- Professionally dry cleaned and ready for its next adventure.
- Comes with original Elbeth Gillis garment bag and sturdy hanger.
- The dress is in beautiful condition overall, with only a few minor marks on the exterior hem and some on the interior hem from natural wear during the day. These are very subtle and not noticeable when worn.

Alterations

I was fortunate to be a perfect bridal size for this gown.
No major alterations like widening/tightening the waist were needed. The hemming was minimal, just enough to achieve the perfect length for my height and heels.
