Berta Privee, 20-P09

Such a stunning dress from 2021. Retailed at £8000.

Absolutely stunning from the front and back, hand beaded and the material is exquisite. These dresses are handmade and you can tell. There are 4-5 layers of lining/underskirt, beautiful pearls, crystal beads and sequins so it catches the light. The lace is just beautiful. Integrated body suit and double zip. You feel like you’re held in place in all the right areas! I honestly felt completely dreamy wearing this.

I had some professional seamstress alterations to tweak it to exactly what I wanted.
A) I removed the tulle from the back as I didn’t want a long train. We left some length at the back so I still had a puddle train!
B) I used some of the lace appliqués from the tulle and made the cap sleeves a bit more of a feature. She also used a few tiny leaves in the bust area so it’s not as exposed. These were hand sewn by the seamstress. I still have the part that was removed if you wanted to use it.
C) I removed one layer of the white net lining from the under layers of the skirt so the nude colour was more prominent. I didn’t want a very “white” wedding dress.
D) I removed the think inner cups and replaced with thinner smaller ones as I felt they were a bit bulky.
E) we took away a little bit of the netting around the armpit area to give a bit more movement.
F) it was taken in a bit at the waist and
Chest.

The dress should fit a UK size 8 and can easily be taken in for a size 6. I can recommend the amazing seamstress I used for you who is located in Greenwich, London. I am 5ft8.5 and with heels was 5ft10.5 so there’s plenty of length to play with if you’re smaller.

The dress was only worn for around 5 hours and there was no dancing, sweating or doing anything crazy in it as I changed into another dress for the evening!

The dress has been professionally cleaned.

I’m happy if you would like to come have a look and try the dress on. I live in Battersea, London.
