About the Dress

"Amelia Brocade" strapless dress in a floral brocade with hip pockets.

The back has a line of buttons above a large, beautiful train. Altered to have a bustle (a few buttons and a wrist handle for dancing - buttons and handle invisible and under skirt if you don't want to use them).

I had a simple chapel-length veil with this and loved it. I loved a lot of the Emilia Wickstead brocade styles, but ultimately wanted something long and elegant.

Alterations

- Rounded the neckline to soften edges so that it was a smooth and perfect curve across my chest.
- Taken down to a size 6 UK (34 EU).
- Line of the dress was made a little straighter, there is a very small flare to account for the train, I had the dress brought in so it was a narrower fit along my hips.
- Had an adjustable waist elastic included inside the waist of the dress - this can be hooked together to really cinch you in and give you a little extra peace of mind for the strapless cut. This can be removed.
- Added a bustle, train can be bustled up for easy dancing
