The Dress

The Malik dress by Marquise Bridal is the ultimate wedding gown for the modern bride. I felt so beautiful, confident (& a little sexy) in this gown.

It’s been altered and dry cleaned by recommended professionals in Sydney and looks as good as new. It is currently boxed and preserved ready for her new home. It has been taken in from the original label size as I lost weight toward my wedding date. Measurements listed are at the size where my final alterations were made.

I am 167cm and wore this dress with 10.5cm shoes and has been altered to fit this height.

The sleeves are detachable and so can take this look to after party in an instant. I also had the front split removed.

I only wore the dress for 8 hours and there is no damage. There has been some minimal beading/crystal loss but nothing that can be noticed by the naked eye. I also kept the off cuts from the alterations if there is any future beading work that is required.

A bustle has also been added.
