The Dress

Bespoke Sassi Holford 3 piece separates based on the "Millie" Design.

I am 5"1, around 12 stone and wear a 14-16 dress size, with a 34FF bust. This dress was entirely made to measure.

It consists of:

- Ivory corset/ bodice
- Ivory "Millie" full tulle skirt
- Bespoke "Millie" lace top with 3/4 length sleeves, which is ivory but with a "blush" lace overlay.

I paid £4,495 for the three pieces from Sassi Holford last year.

Each piece has been professionally cleaned by Scobies in Dulwich at a cost of £200, and has been carefully boxed-up with acid-free tissue paper.

Being small and curvy, I found it very difficult to find a style that suited me, particularly seeing as most designers did not stock dresses in a size that I could try on. I also found it almost impossible to find a dress with sleeves! People kept presenting me with tiny, thin lacy jackets which made my arms look awful. I knew I needed something a bit more robust and comfortable, hence why I commissioned the top/jacket from Sassi with elbow-length sleeves. It is made from slightly thicker, stretchier material which is much more comfortable and perfect for my winter wedding.

The style I chose was comfortable and feminine and allowed me to cover my arms and shoulders, which was the bit I was most self-conscious about. The top is so pretty and a bit different being in a blush colour, but the look is still very bridal.

The tulle skirt is really fun to wear, so floaty and feminine and really works well with the nipped-in waist that the bodice and fitted top give you.

If you are of similar proportions to me (as described above) I would really recommend this as a solution!

You are welcome to come and try the dress on of course - I live in South East London (SE14), or could come to you if you're in London. I also have loads more photos which I would be happy to send you.

I would also be willing to sell the pieces individually by negotiation if you would prefer not to buy all three pieces.

I also have a cashmere shrug (shown in one of the photos) which I wore in the evening over the bodice for a different look - I was inspired by Olivia Palermo's look for this, but again found it surprisingly difficult to find nice cover-ups/ tops with sleeves!

Any questions, please ask.

Many thanks
