About the Dress

This classic a-line shape wedding dress, features a sweetheart neckline and bardot sleeves.

It has beautiful button style beading decoration to the back but has hidden zip so very easy to take on and off.

It's a full length gown with slit to the front and small train to the back. It's been altered to fit a petite (5ft3) bride wearing 2-3 inch heels, though was only taken up at the front so train wasnt touched.

It's also been altered at the waist, to bring it in, so would be better suited to a size 14 rather than size 16/18 as per original dress label. Similarly the bardot sleeves were made a smidge smaller to sit better on the arms.

It was bought bigger to accommodate a bigger bust (34FF) so would either suit somebody a bit busty or could be altered slightly to bring it in across the top.

It also has pockets, which I found really nice for posing etc.

The dress was made by Freda Bennet in June 2024, though the label says Tillavie. Tillavie is a range designed exclusively by Freda Bennet for Tilly's Bridal Boutique. This particular style is called the Nala and you can find some stunning pictures of it on models if you search Tillavie Nala on Google.

I've just got the dress back from the cleaners so its as new - I've included a few pictures of it hanging to show its current condition.

The other pictures are all from my wedding day and I'd be happy to share more if you want to see anything specific.

Im based in Peterborough Cambridgeshire and would be happy to accommodate try-ons within reason (legitimate interest only).
