Dress Specific Information:

The dress has been altered slightly to bring the V (in front) slightly higher and closed. The underlay of this dress is also white as opposed to nude on the model.

This dress comes with a cape, this cape is removable and I decided not to wear it on the day so has never been worn before. As the cape is detachable you can chose to wear for some of the day, all of the day or not at all!

I feel in love with the beading and flower applique. It's romantic, comfortable and gives a beautiful silhouette. It gives structure, with the ribbon/belt defining your waist and creating womanly curves. The fabric on this dress is extremely forgiving with a good amount of stretch.

I wore the dress for the ceremony and pictures only and wore another dress for the rest of the day. This has been dry cleaned and comes with a long term storage box specially for storing wedding dresses so they stay in perfect condition.

Since Lee Grebenau does all of her dresses on semi-custom, there isn't an actual size on the dress. According to her, it should be between her size UK 8-10 or US 4. I am 5'7" or 167cm without heels. I wore 4.5 inch heels on the day so this dress should be long enough for almost all brides. Lee Grebenau's distribution is extremely limited and only sells in a handful of boutiques so this will surely be a unique and one of a kind gown for your wedding.

Drop me a note if you wish to see more pictures of it or if you have any questions regarding the dress. Looking forward to finding a new home for this beauty. Happy to work something out for those who are keen.
