About the Dress

My dress is in perfect condition, I only wore my Ophelia gown for the ceremony and dinner. I then changed into my second dress for our first dance and party.

Taken from the SAINT website:
Soft elegance takes center stage with the Ophelia gown. Ophelia showcases a luxuriously wrapped bodice that gathers before gracefully spilling into an A-line skirt, complete with a captivating front slit.

Designed for modern romantics seeking both a firm fit and a touch of drama, the Ophelia gown offers a fully structured silhouette that embraces the contours of the body while allowing the skirt to flourish in all its splendor.

Alterations

The side sleeve has been removed but I still have this, so if you would like to reattach you can do so.

I had the length at the front altered to my height with shoes, I am 5”3 and I wore 4inch heels. However, there is a bit of extra length in the dress at the front because I didn’t want it exactly floor length to avoid any swinging. So if you are a little taller 5”4 or 5”5 the dress may work for you, depending on your heel choice.

I had the train at the back altered to be shorter but left it long enough to have the drama without looking too excessive/untidy. I had the shorter inside lining attached to the skirt.

The split was opened up to be more obvious when walking. However, the split could be readjusted as needed, if you prefer to close this up, you can do so.

I purchased a size 10 in Aug 2024 and received the dress in Feb 2025 (you will need minimum 6 months to order this dress brand new). I was a size 8 in time for my wedding and since alterations, the dress would now suit a size 6 or an 8 best.

I also wore the Rue De Seine (sister brand of SAINT) 3mtr Parisian veil , which I am happy to include if interested! I had this altered slightly to match the new length of the dress. The colour matches the dress perfectly!

The dress cost £3,100 brand new and the veil £235, both purchased from Lovely Bride London. My alterations cost £500 on top of this.
