The Dress

This is it. THE DRESS. You've found it!!

Stunning, timeless, classic, soft, feminine and romantic.

I always thought I didn't want a strapless dress, but hey, when you find 'THE ONE', you just know, and that's exactly what happened to me. From the moment I tried it on in the Mariana Hardwick store in Melbourne, I felt beautiful (not something that comes naturally to me!), comfortable, deliriously happy and so excited to wear it to my wedding!

So I whisked it home to Auckland, had it altered by the fantastic Megs in Newmarket, and counted down the days (and months...) until I could show it off to everyone!

This dress has polyester lining with tulle over the bodice and skirt. It has moulded cups (I wore it without any kind of bra), and a small train. It's not too heavy, and when you hit the d-floor later on it is a super fun dress to swish around and boogie in. We got married in summer and there were no worries with sweaty legs under too many layers.

It's a great dress for customising it with whatever accessories you like, making it truly unique. The classic style means that when you're old and grey and fashion has moved on, you'll still be able to look back at your wedding photos with pride.

I wore two accessories on the dress, a silk ribbon that I tied at the waist (not included), and the flower accessory shown in the photos (included).

The matching Mariana Hardwick double flower accessory pins on (I wore at the top of the dress, but also looks nice attached at the waist) - note that it had two pins but one is broken, but it doesn't necessarily affect use, depending on how you want to use it. I can send further close up pics of this by email.

The dress is in great condition, it was drycleaned, wrapped and boxed after it was worn, and it's been stored in a smoke-free home. The only mark is a small spot on the inside of the bodice (I can send a photo by email) but you can't see it once the dress is on.

I had really wanted to keep this dress forever, to save it for my daughter (or just be like Phoebe and Monica and wear it around the house!) but circumstances mean it's time to say goodbye. It's time to pass it on to you, miss Bride-to-be!

Alterations

I had the length shortened a bit (it comes with extra length with the intention that you can then get it right for you). I'm pretty tall (1.74m) and had it floor length.
I also had the dress taken in at the waist, making it roughly a size 8 at the waist.
