I went into the Collette Dinnigan boutique in Woollahra to try on wedding dresses and none of them were quite right for what I wanted. As I was leaving the store I saw this dress away from the wedding section and was told that Collette had made it as a one off and dropped it off to the store the day before. It happened to be my size and fitted perfectly with no alterations required so it was meant to be. I had the best night of my life in this dress, it was so comfortable and a pleasure to wear. It was lovely to have the surprise of not wearing white/ivory but not being too 'out there' at the same time.

The colour looks slightly softer in photos than it is in real life, it's a dull silver/pewter colour and just gorgeous. It's similar in colour/beading to the Glitter Stones gown but I found it much more flattering - the sweetheart neckline and A-line skirt are beautiful - and the beading is more elaborate.

** Includes Helene Faye Classic Supersoft Faux Fur wrap in pale silver worth $229. I didn't end up wearing it on the day as didn't get cold but it was dry-cleaned with dress anyway! **
