About the Dress

Two descriptions: one AI, one me, both accurate, one a bit cringe.

According to me:
I always said I would never get married: not my thing! Then I met a wonderful man who I upended my entire life for. And I proposed to him. So, turns out I am not as anti-marriage as I always said I was. Still, I wanted to do this whole thing on my terms.
A friend who is a fabulous costumer designer for film and tv here in Scotland recommended me a dressmaker she uses all the time and that woman, Madra, made this for me. It is a super simple, casual dress with tonnes of movement. I am not a twirler, but this dress will twirl! Madra washed and starched the cotton so it would hold its shape, fully lined the skirt, and used silver glitter thread to sew the inside seams and she gave me POCKETS!
I got married in a Scottish castle, on a cold, dry February day and I didn’t shiver once in this dress. I wore my Dr Martens boots and we took photos in a field and had a huge bonfire and the next morning I went wild swimming and this dress was what I needed for that weekend. I guess what I’m saying is, maybe this is a casual dress for the ‘anti-bride’ but it is beautifully made, of excellent quality, endlessly adjustable and changeable, and it has a little bit of rebel spirit that… just doesn’t seem to be an ‘every bride’ kinda thing. Open to offers. It’s beautiful. It’s casual. You could chop it up and change it up and make it you. You could take the top off and add lace, you could add a veil (I couldn’t be bothered!), you could have the skirt lengthened or the waist taken in or out or… You get the picture. Give it a good new adventure, please!

And now…

Accordingly to AI…
This stunning trumpet wedding dress is a true blend of elegance and comfort, designed for the bride who wants to celebrate her special day in style. Crafted from soft ivory cotton, it captures the essence of timeless romance with a modern twist. The knee-length design gracefully accentuates your figure while allowing for ease of movement, making it perfect for both the ceremony and the dance floor.

One of my favorite features of this dress is the hidden pockets—because who doesn't love a dress that allows you to keep essentials close at hand? Whether it’s a tissue for those joyful tears or your lipstick for touch-ups, these pockets add a practical element that many bridal gowns overlook.

I wore this beauty on the most magical day of my life, and I can honestly say I felt radiant. It's in excellent condition, ready for another bride to make unforgettable memories in. If you're looking for a dress that combines romance, function, and a touch of whimsy, this is the one for you. Let it be part of your love story!
