The Dress

'Jessica' gown made by Maggie Sottero, sold in NZ at Astra Bridal.

Official Maggie Sottero description of my gown is: "Stunning dress, made for the modern romantic bride. Delicately scalloped lace skims the shoulders and neckline of this stunning dress, made for the modern romantic bride. Sequin embellished corded lace appliqués drape a tulle over Vogue Satin gown in this stunning slim A-line dress. Finished with zipper back closure."

I cannot express how gorgeous and comfortable this gown was to wear. I felt absolutely beautiful in this piece that just flowed and sat perfectly all day. I couldn't have picked a more stunning gown and I would love for another woman to have the same feeling from this stunning piece rather than just storing it in the cupboard in a box.

I had the little hook put in the back so I could tuck it up for my first dance, and I had padding put in to the cups to give the confidence that no 'bits' would show in the photos. Other than that, the gown is as it was when purchased brand new from Astra Bridal.

A few minor marks here and there as expected with second hand, but nothing that I would say is noticeable or stands out. I have had the dress cleaned and boxed.

Dress size is labelled 4, I wear a 6/8 usually. The measurements for the size 4 are: Bust 33.5 inches, Waist 25.5 inches, Hip 36 inches

*Price dropped to $800, a great buy for a beautiful piece
