The Dress

Made with Love Parker. Crepe silk. Was made as a 8 top and 12 bottom (MWL sizing) I am usually a 8 top, 8-10 bottom, 160cm high.

Worn once in perfect condition and dry cleaned.

I was 17 weeks pregnant when the dress was worn so it has had non standard alterations. I have included both pictures of the altered dress and un-altered so you can get an idea of body shape and dress style.

Because of my belly the dress did gather around the middle as I moved. I am confident that will not be the case on someone who does have a belly.

I can not provide accurate measurements of my body as I am now 2months post partum and no where near the size I was when I wore the dress and I’m unsure of my measurements at the time of buying the dress.

Parker was a seriously comfortable gown and I would love to see her worn and enjoyed again.

Alterations

The dress was take out around the waist/stomach and bum/hip area. The zip was removed to allow the dress to be taken out further however the original buttons were sewn back on.

I would say the dress is now more of a size 14 fit (MWL) size but still with a smaller bust area.

Dress measurements (seam-seam)
Bust 35cm
Waist 34cm
Bum 52cm (widest part of the dress)

The dress can be taken out in the bust but it has just about reached its limits around the midsection. It can obviously be taken in.
I am 160cm tall and wore an 82 mm heel. The dress was taken up to that height.

All alterations were done professionally by the owner of the bridal boutique- brides by design.
