Maggie Sottero, Harlem

This dress has had NO ALTERATIONS!! I am 5ft 7 and 57 kg. I wore 3inch heal.

I have a Slim, athletic build and normally wear a sheath style dress. This A line gave me a more defined shape which was I felt was more flattering than the straight up and down look that the sheath dress gave me. The silhouette corsetry and structure is on trend, flattering yet still traditional and elegant suiting most wedding styles. This dress does have some flower detail on the bodice and the skirt which I feel gives a pretty, romantic and modern feel as florals are on tend.

This dress does have a train which I felt adds to its bridal wow factor. The train can be buttoned up for the reception.

Professionally dry cleaned at Dulais Specialist Dry Cleaners, Darras Hall.

Small tear of tulle at the very bottom of the dress. Not noticeable as at the very base of the dress. No other damage and no marks or staining.

Traditional, classic style for our countryside church and marquee wedding.

I wore head peace and tulle veil, dropped pearl earings. My husband and bridal party wore tails. The bridesmaids wore floor length tulle dresses in sage from monsoon.

Although this is quite a full dress, I was able to wear it for the full day and evening. I did a full choreographed first dance with two lifts and two dips. I did not feel at all restricted in the dress. Our wedding was in July in a marquee and I did not overheat. I loved wearing this dress!
