The Dress

Kellylin couture- Carissa

This dress made me feel like the most beautiful bride in the world. Made by the incredible and talented Kellylin, I bought this dress from Launceston timeless elegance, Tasmania. The minute the sun hit my dress, everyone couldn’t stop commenting on how sparkly and flattering the dress was.

The dress was so comfortable to wear and light. It has a flattering A-line figure which hid my self conscious stomach while accentuating my waist line and chest. The fabric underneath the lace was designed to be more tightly fitted to show off your figure without exposing too many lumps and bumps.
I am normally a very standard size 14, and this dress was too big when it arrived. (Approx a au16 equivalent to us10)

From the website: Ultra-feminine and alluring, this lightweight sparkle lace A-line gown is the unique style you’ve been searching for. A daring deep V-neckline and illusion bodice is perfectly balanced by the deep open back accentuating the natural waistline and flowing down into a stunning rounded train.
Hints of metallic thread throughout the lace and a wide horsehair trim create fun and playful features on this one in a million gown. https://www.kellylincouture.com/product/carissa-a-line-wedding-dress/

Alterations

Alterations: I upsized the breast cup to a minimum size D. No bra needed which was the best feeling felt very secure all day/ night.
I had the lace on the side taken in a few cms to match my above measurements and the shoulder tightened. I also had a few inches off the lace down the bottom to match my height. The white under fabric was also taken in to waist measurements. A bustle was also attached for dancing convenience
