The Dress

My beautiful wedding dress bought from Abbey Bridal in late 2016 for my wedding in April 2017 has layers and layers of tulle in an A-Line shape with Alençon lace appliqués flowing from the bodice down the dress. It would fit size 14-16 as the corset can be laced to suit. I had the neckline altered to a sweetheart style and added lace cap sleeves which I wore off the shoulder. You could easily remove the straps and wear it strapless if you prefer. It's a timeless, romantic style of dress and I received so many compliments on it. I was in two minds about selling it as I love it so much!

The original dress was strapless and had a slightly rounded neckline. I had it altered by a seamstress recommended by Abbey Bridal, the alterations were to add lace cap sleeves and change the neckline to a sweetheart style. I also had the dress taken up a small amount to suit my height, and had a bustle put in so that I could dance at the reception. I am 164cms and wore 8.5cm heels.
According to my rudimentary measurements the dress is as follows:
Length from underarm to hem: 134cm
Bust: 58cm
Waist: 54cms
Hips: 67cms
Train at the back: 180cms
Please note the veil in the photos is not included.
