About the Dress

This stunning A-Line LINEN wedding dress (Auldyn) from & For Love embodies the essence of romance and elegance.

Bought from soho bride in Geelong, November 2024.

Reasons I chose this dress
- it’s linen
- it’s super comfortable
- I felt beautiful in it
- it has pockets

To elaborate- I chose the linen (which has a beautiful silk lining underneath) because for me, our wedding day was relaxed and the linen just felt relaxed. It’s simple but so comfortable to wear (I didn’t want to get out of it). The v neckline is gorgeous. I didn’t need a bra (I’m a 12DD bra size, and I was breast feeding at the time, so it was easy to get out of for a Quick feed).

The backless design is surprisingly not uncomfortable as it’s supportive. If you are happy to go no bra- this is your dress! Due to alterations, it sat a little too straight across my back (it probably looks better with it looser and arching down).

The pockets for me are a huge seller. I kept my lippy in there all night.

My only fault of the dress is that due to pulling it tighter around the waste and adjusting the neckline, it ended up a little shorter at the front than I would have hoped. I’m about 165 cm and it was at times a little shorter at the front than it was at the back (due to the train, and when we pinned it up, it sat a little heavy at the back). But all in all, I would wear it again.

The sleeves are fun! I just love that I was comfy in it all night.

Selling because I would just love to see this dress live on

Happy to negotiate on price or arrange a try on. I paid about 600 in alterations from the bridal shop.

Alterations

Waste was brought in, and neckline adjusted so it wasn’t so low. This made the front of the dress a little higher so at times my feet were poking out. I wore flats and am 165 cm tall. Happy for try ons. A good seamstress could probably adjust this for someone taller. Or add a panel of material in or something.
