About the Dress

Stella York Ivory A-line wedding dress From the Stella York website: “LACE, TULLE, AND ORGANZA OVER SATIN WEDDING DRESS For the bride looking to add drama to her wedding dress, this Stella York A-Line silhouette has it all. Starting with the fabrication, you’ll love the combination of Lace, Tulle, and Organza over Satin all accented with shimmering beading. The scoop neck and scalloped Lace hem add vintage-inspired charm, while the fitted bodice and full skirt work together to flatter your figure at every angle. Stella York wedding A-Line wedding dresses are fit-tested on a variety of body types and constructed with the optimal level of support for each design. Adequate boning, quality fabric linings, sewn-in bust cups and delicate interior elastic bands are just a few of the construction details that make our A-Line wedding dresses fit exceptionally well.” Worn once for my November wedding in 2017 and finally willing to part with it and give it a new lease of life! Professionally dry-cleaned after use and been stored in a proper storage box in a wardrobe with acid-free tissue paper. Floor length with train. There is a loop stitched in to hitch the train up but the button is missing. 5 layers of fabric in total including tulle to give A-line shape. Inner layer is polyester so soft against legs. Modified-sweetheart neckline. Structured bodice which fits snuggly due to the corset back. Panel inside buttons across the ribbons. Embroidered lace floral pattern which is with clear sequins for a subtle shimmer. The lace on the hem is stitched on making it easy to remove for alterations.

Alterations

Loop stitch added to hitch the train up (see picture) but the button that was added is now missing but could easily be replaced. Adjustments made to fit me. I’m not sure of my exact measurements at the time but approximately a size 12, hourglass figure and a 32F bra size. I think the bodice would fit best on someone with a D-cup or bigger chest, because of the way bodice is structured it might not fit snugly on a smaller chest. I am 167cm tall and wore a 8.5cm heel.
