Still White was perfect! I was not your typical bride. I didn't want to try on tons of dress and make appointment after appointment. Still White allowed me to find "the dress" without the hassle. The process was seamless and the lady who sold it to me couldn't have been anymore of a blessing. I would recommend Still White to anyone!

The Dress

I am selling this beautiful Mai gown with 80cm train.
This gown would fit anyone from a size 6 to a small size 10. I am 178cm tall and wore GLL's own "Dosa" heels that are 8.5cm.

I was after a long-sleeve dress but was looking for something "fresh", "light" and less traditional than the usual, run-of-the-mill lace wedding dresses. It also needed to work on a warm QLD day and be comfortable and the beautiful Mai delivered just that. I was married on a 28 degree day and did not feel warm at all.

The Mai gown is made of a breathable, stretchy lace that feels light and beautiful to wear. What I love about the lace is that it looks light and delicate, but to the wearer it feels strong and does not restrict your movements in the slightest.

The nude lining underneath is made to feel almost like spanx, in that it hugs the figure while smoothing out any lumps and bumps all on its own. I felt like it was firm enough to hold in problem areas like my tummy without the need to wear any extra control underwear which just added to the comfort factor.

Also, this gown has to be the most low-maintenance wedding dress ever. GLL recommends keeping it stored in the box, NOT on a hanger, so as not to allow the stretchy lace to go out of shape. I kept mine in the box right up until I put it on on my wedding day. There is no need to steam as the dress hugs the figure and there is juuust enough weight in the lace on the train that it drops straight to the ground on its own without puckering. Perfect for anyone planning a destination wedding and needing to take their gown on a plane, train, etc. I have the GLL box to store it in and the gown will be shipped to you in it.

Measurements that were taken by GLL at the fitting shown below. Please note I also added extra cups in addition to what is listed in the measurements below.

**Bust: 81cm XS
Cup: A/B (to reflect Size XS showroom sample) XS
Under bust: 75cm S
Waist: 68cm S
Hip: 94cm XS
Bicep: 25cm
Sleeve Length: 60cm
Shoulder to Bust Point: 27cm
Shoulder to Waist (over bust): Reflect XS sample
Shoulder to Floor: 150cm
Shoulder to Floor inclu. Heel Height: 158.5cm

**I wore with Grace Loves Lace own "Dosa" heels.

I tried on the Mai sample in the GLL showroom and the instore XS sample fitted perfectly, however I did end up getting my own Mai altered slightly. I found the fit was a little too big around the bust so had some of the lace taken up along the shoulder seam slightly and also a set of cups put in as I do not "do" chicken fillets.
The gown already came with size A/B cup built into the lining of the gown. The additional cups I had added can be removed easily if they don't work for you.

There is some staining on several of the scalloped edges of the hemline towards the front of the gown. However the split at the front means that the gown flares open as you walk and covers the scalloped lace that is stained. If you plan on having the train shortened then these pieces could also be easily replaced with scalloped lace removed from the altering process. Photo shown with (clean) 50c coin for scale.
