The Dress

This dress made me feel amazing on my wedding day. The material is incredable quality and the detail in the lace design is beautiful. Everyone commented on how much they loved it and gasped when I walked down the aisel.

The dress fitted in all the right places and made me feel like an amazing bride - very romantic, with a dramatic back but it still felt traditional.

The dress is in an amazing condition. I have had it cleaned professionally. They were very delicate with the dress due to the lace detailing. Looks perfect on the outside. The trail (including under the trail) is incredibly clean because I hooked it up in the evening.

It does have very faint marks underneath the dress where it was touching the floor. You cannot see it with it being underneath the material (on the inside) and this part has been cleaned very delicately by the dry cleaners.

Also selling my veil (AVL0032
- All Who Wander) for £350. Bought for £550 and wore only for ceremony/pictures. Is in amazing condition. I also had it cleaned with the dress although it was not really needed, it was that clean. Please message if you would like to buy this with the dress.

An instant Martina Liana classic, Style 1302 offers a formal look for the modern age. A combination of lace, tulle and stretch crepe creates a seamless and sultry silhouette. Leafy, organic lace designs grow over the figure effortlessly in vine-like patterns–continuing into sheer side panel cutouts of this 2010 dress style for added dimension and visual interest. The laces also add a tattoo-like effect over the sheer long sleeves and semi-sheer bodice, forming a skinny plunge neckline and wide keyhole back. The artful, sheer train is where the laces really get to shine–forming a scalloped edging with organic finishes to complete the modern 2010s wedding dress with a touch of tradition.

Alterations

I am a size 8-10.

Very little alterations were made. I had the sleeves shortened slightly and the shoulders taken up a little so it fitted better on the chest. The front of the dress was altered to my height (as they come very long). I had padding put in chest area but that can easily be removed.
