About the Dress

This Enzoani Bernadine dress made me feel beautiful all day long, and I'd love to pass on that feeling to someone new. I loved the structured bodice with the crossover tulle at the front and sheer back with supportive boning and embroidered flowers. The stunning ballgown silhouette is flattering and comfortable. It glitters in the light (big selling point for me!).
Everyone loved the sheer back, which offered a glimpse of skin while keeping things sophisticated.

Crafted from luxurious ivory fabric, this gown features intricate embroidery that dances delicately across the bodice and skirt, ensuring you shine from every angle. Floor length and effortlessly flowing, it glides with every movement, making it perfect for both the ceremony and the dance floor. It has a loop to attach to one of the buttons on the back for lifting the train up.

I wore the dress until after the first dance. It’s a size 38 (I'm normally around a size 10 - 12) and has been professionally cleaned and preserved, ready to be worn and loved all over again. If you're looking for a gown that combines grace with enchanting detail, then the Bernadine is your dream dress.

Some very minor discolourations at the hem have remained after professional dry cleaning (by Terrington Burchett), but are barely visible and would be removed if you were to shorten the dress.

Alterations

Loop at the back (not visible) to lift train up for dancing.
C cups inserted into bodice and bodice adjusted to my measurements, with gap between cups taken in.
Underskirt tailored to be the same length (floor length) all around rather than having it a little longer at the back.
Satin loops for hanging the dress up have been removed as they would be visible through the sheer sides and back.
