The Dress
I'm not sure what's easier in the search for a wedding dress, having a very clear idea of what you want or not having one at all! In my case, i knew what i wanted; something classic, unique and beautifully feminine but I couldn't find it anywhere. I tried the fitted and the fishtails, the strapless and sweetheart, the ballgown and beaded but nothing was coming close...until I found Suzanne Neville's Scarlett dress.
The dress, which is part of the 2016 Songbird collection, is a gorgeous full length dress made of lace and soft Italian crepe. The front is a structured low v-neck with nude mesh behind the lace (which you cannot see once on the body) that means you feel fully supported in the dress and can lead forward without worrying about it gaping. There is a super flattering ruffle detail on the right side of the skirt with a split just above the knee which means the dress is incredibly easy to walk in and great for showing off a pair of killer shoes (had to be Valentino in my case!)
It was almost perfect but I had it custom altered by a wedding dress maker in London. I found a Sassi Holford lace bolero jacket that complimented the dress wonderfully so i took the sleeves from that and I also wanted the back cut down into a deep V. The alterations were done exceptionally well and all the details really made it look incredible from the scalloped edging down the back which mirrors the front, to the subtly puffed shoulders, to the style of sleeve buttons which match those on the back of the dress...it was everything I dreamt of. I can safely say no-one else will have this dress, it's been a bit of a project and i can only hope someone gets as much joy out of it as i did.
Please note it is a 12 but would be the equivalent to a UK 10 and I'm 5'10 (over 6ft with the heels) so if you're tall there would still be a small train.
It's in great condition with no stains or rips, there are a few marks around the bottom but it wouldn't be noticeable when on and has been dry cleaned. I'd be happy to send more photos or have a fitting should you be interested.
