The Dress

I bought this dress at Fairytales Boutique in Melbourne late last year. It was one of about 4 dresses I tried on, and it was the one. The ivory colour definitely looks more soft, elegant and modern than white. Although I tried some other styles that were beautiful on the rack, this dress was definitely flattering.

I liked how dress gave the illusion of extra height (I'm 167cm) with the bodice started from the middle of my waist, making it look smaller, while the tulle was long, floor-length, elongating the legs. The bodice has delicate, hand-sewn beading. The shades of bead are diamond, crystal and pearl-like which twinkles in the eye elegantly. The floor length tulle has layers upon layers of varying lengths, creating the soft, natural, elegant flowing effect, rather than a straight tulle.

I had the dress altered so that the dress fit perfectly. The bust and waist were taken in slightly to fit measurements of B: 34.5", W: 27.5", H: 38" (between size AU 8-10). The tailor also added a bustle with small clear buttons and 3 tiny bows so that the trail could be taken up when I danced. The tulle was shortened to be 1cm longer than the satin underlay and a couple of extra layers of tulle was added. The length of the dress was to fit my height of 167cm plus me wearing 9cm heels. I didn't wear a hoop inside as I preferred the tulle to flow naturally, however, I did have to keep lifting up my dress as I walked, which did get a bit inconvenient.

Note that there are a couple of small unnoticeable holes in the inner layer of tulle where I did step on the dress and these can be easily sewn back together. If you're afraid of tripping on your dress, I definitely recommend that you have a hoop. There is also some slight yet unnoticeable beading in the bodice which had loosened and can be replaced with some of the extra beads that I was provided with by the boutique.

As much as I'm sad to let go, I can't wait to pass this stunning dress on to a new bride - you'll shine in it! Here's a reference to the designer's original photo https://www.pinterest.com/pin/384917099372314634/

I would be more than happy to arrange a time for you to inspect and try on the dress before committing to purchase. Feel free to ask any questions you may have and I'll do my best to answer them.
