About the Dress

satin Stella York wedding dress with a twist - this has been altered and the back styled to more of a V shape rather than the original square back it had before. I felt absolutely great in this dress and made me feel like a total princess.

Purchased second hand in a size 16 NZ street, I’ve had this extensively altered in size and style to a NZ street size 10-12, and I’m approx 156cm tall so the dress is approx 164cm with a hem to alter if needed to allow for heels or flats.

-Padded bust so no need for a bra
-Easy zip up back with buttons for show
-Netting underskirt attached to the dress for volume
- Extremely comfortable and easy to wear
- doesn’t crease up easily - I travelled with this in a folded bag and it came out as seen.

This dress is second hand so it does come with some imperfections as you would expect. There is a white stain on the front that cannot be removed which is small it was there when I got it - however it’s there in all my photos and it actually cannot be seen unless you’re actually looking for it. it has a new white mark from wine as well from my day. The other pre existing mark, It hasn’t shown up in any images and also no one has noticed it at all. There’s a couple of marks under the skirt which also can’t be seen. There are some makeup marks on the inside of the dress from my chest and arms and these will come out when It’s had dry cleaning done, and they also can’t be seen when wearing.

I have chosen to not dry clean myself as the new owner can do this and can also be pressed at the same time for use.
