About the Dress

This dress is amazing. It looks very simple, but is deceptively complex and flattering! The mermaid / trumpet flare hugs and shows off all the right bits! And the square neck has quite a contemporary twist. Also is really comfy and I didn't feel restricted at all. And a super low sexy back. My friends said it gave me Marilyn Monroe's physique! (which was blates flattery, but I'll take it anyway!)

It is in pristine condition. I wore it for the aisle and champagne reception afterwards, then changed into another Jenny Yoo dress with a shorter trail for all the dancing. The trail is still perfectly white. The crepe fabric is gorge - soft and luxurious. And it is "antique white", so not bright white and a little creamier or more ivory in colour. And all the detail is in the folds of the fabric. There are no embellishments or sequin bling - which I think it more classy. Understated glam. Chic and demure - ha ha!

On the day, I was 10 and a half stone. I am 5ft 5. So I was down at a big size 10. I am very much a pear shape. All bum and thigh! I am quite slight on the top with small boobs (size 34/36 A). I had the straps made shorter and had it taken in around the boobs and bodice, plus had padded bra cups sewn in (which you can easily have removed or changed). I also had a two-point bustle addded too.

Here is the blurb from the website:

The Elliott square neck bridal gown takes a modern approach to a classic fit and flare silhouette. Wide set straps frame a flattering square neckline and low scoop back. The dramatic fit and flare skirt features angled flounce seam lines and covered buttons down to the hem of the chapel length train.
