The Dress

This was everything I ever wanted in a wedding dress! Flattering for my size and shape. I am short (163cm) and am larger around the hips and bust. But I didn’t want anything heavy or extravagant and I felt this struck the perfect balance and hugged all of the right areas.
The dress was worn at our wedding in a April 2019 and has been dry cleaned. There has been some beading lost - during the day/night and dry cleaning process - but it is not noticeable at all. It has come up near new after cleaning and is now stored in a box and tissue paper.

* Stella York description *
This casual and sophisticated wedding dress from designer Stella York is a dream come true! Lace and French tulle come together to create a column silhouette that is both glamorous, simple and casual. Vintage-inspired beading covers the soft French lace of the bodice and delicate cap sleeves and ends at the smallest part of the bride’s waist. The scalloped-lace neckline of this casual gown adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the wide neckline. A deep V-back accentuates the back of this gown, and is highlighted with a beaded trim and scalloped details. The column-shaped tulle skirt feels refined and simple, and complements the intricate beading of the bodice well. This simple and sophisticated wedding dress zips up beneath signature crystal buttons.
