The Dress

Firstly, this is more of an Oyster/ Taupe colour with Ivory/ silver over. The embracing colour photo shows the true colour. The dress is handmade with the highest quality fabrics and is hand beaded from head to toe. It has endless beading and crystals in a gorgeous scalloped design and is guaranteed to make you sparkle on your wedding day.

I was trying to channel more of a 'Vintage Oscars Glam', 'Classic Art Deco' than 'white wedding fru fru' with my wedding dress, made in 2015 in Queenstown NZ, by the very talented Erina McLean. Erina also hand beaded around the 'boat neck' line.

This dress has a taupe/ oyster dupeon silk lined slip, fitted and floor length with a very small train (easily removed if you wanted by a dressmaker) with a low v neck, thin straps and and a low to mid v at the back. I wore the underwear https://www.ultimo.co.uk/ultimo-fuller-bust-low-back-body-nude-p61 (which was hidden perfectly and held me 'in' and 'up'). It has an invisible zip at the back. The capped sleeves are slightly gathered- (more flattering on the arms than a straight across cap). The high neck is sheer down to the low V- (sexy but classy)

My inspiration was Ellie Saab creations as well as the stunning Jenny Packham Esme dress, but I wanted something a bit more original and need breast support so couldn't rock the full backless look like I'd like to. I knew I wanted something champagny in colour, not bright white, something beaded/ slinky/ heavy and with a bit of an Old Hollywood Glitz that's not too 'weddingy'.

I then found the beautiful fabric you see, (which only fashion designers can buy, so rest assured you won't see this everywhere and regular Jo can't buy it at a fabric store- I have spotted the same fabric on some Berta dresses) and purchased this. It is a beaded lace and it also has some small silver sequins and the odd tiny pearl and I would say is an Ivory colour. As a result it is rather heavy and sits/ falls well and and feels beautiful to wear (and is a bit sparkly but not OTT!) This fabric was extremely expensive and when you see it it person you can see why. The fact the beaded lines are vertical rather than horizontal is also more flattering. The beaded fabric is 'Charles Parsons- Embroidered beaded allover 132cm ivory / silver TBE3281402'

Our ceremony and reception was all indoors, so the dress never got dirty, and my dressmaker mended some beads that had fallen off at the train and also cleaned it....so it's in excellent condition all ready for you!

The dress comes with a customised coat hanger and dress bag also- as well as a little bit of extra fabric that you can use for spare beads or add to to your flower girls dresses etc, or just to keep as a keepsake. (I have one flower girls dress also- let me know if this interests you).

I am 156cm tall and wore 10cm nude heels. I am short-ish, curvy (wear a 12E) and am a size NZ/ AU size 12. Obviously you may need a dress maker to modify slightly to your body.

I am happy to post and happy for you to try on at my home. I would be delighted for it to be worn again on your special day. I felt amazing in it and hope you will too :-)

No problem to provide some more information/ measurements/ details/ images- just let me know specifically what you're after.
