Stephanie Allin, Stella

This is a beautiful dress by the Welsh designer Stephanie Allin.

Loved and worn during the day part of our wedding day in Verona, Italy.

I am 5’9 and wear an 8-10, although I sized down a little for the wedding.
I wanted to make sure the dress covered my shoes while wearing small heels, so i lengthened the train by 10’’ at the back.

It comes with detachable sleeves, and a zip and button up back, for extra comfort/security.

I originally bought this new with the below sizes and additions.

Size 9 Waist 1" bigger - 26"
10" Longer Train
Detachable Sleeve

I then made alterations including:
- stitching in the inside of the bust slightly for a better fit
- having the outer layer sewn to the under layer, so there would be no dragging of the dress when I moved (showing the underlayer)
- opening the front slit slightly so you could see my legs and I could walk with movement.

This dress has professionally cleaned by a recommended cleaner (£250) and stored in the original bag.

There is a small amount of wear visible in the dress under close inspection:
- slight discolouration under the armpit (not noticeable when worn) and inside the dress
- tiny dots along the hem of the front of the train, where it has touched the ground. These are likely to come out with another clean, but can not be notice unless you are looking at it closely.

I am based in Hackney London, if you would like to come and see the dress and try it on.

Note: there is no label size inside the dress, but I would estimate it’s an 8

I am happy to send more pics.
