The Dress

The Story

The Alexandra - lightweight, stretchy and super comfortable to wear - I didn't have any issues on the night with it, and everyone loved the detail. I'm a practical person and wanted something that I could dance in, and feel comfortable in, given our relaxed style of wedding.

The dress is professionally washed, and in excellent condition as I looked after it and utilised the bustle straight after the ceremony. It also comes with it's original box and protective garment bag, care instructions included.

Stored lying flat to preserve the stretch lace. This material doesn't crush, which is perfect if you have a destination wedding or need to travel with your gown. Ivory colour which is flattering on any skin tone.

This dress is a size S and would fit an Australian size 8 to 12 (I am usually a size 10).

Note I am 175cm tall, and I didn't wear heels, so this could be suitable for a bride who is 165cm-180cm depending on whether you are wearing heels or not :)

Measurements the dress was made to are: Bust - 86cm; Waist -70.5cm; Hip - 96cm; Shoulder to Floor - 142cm. I lost 3-4kg prior to the wedding day and the dress still fit like a glove thanks to the beautiful stretch lace material.

Instead of the fingerloop I popped a bustle on the back which was much more practical :)

I hope this stunning gown can bring as much joy to the next person as it did to me :)

As the lace is stretchy, it will fit your shape. Made from Raschel French lace and fully lined: 63% Nylon, 26% Viscose, 11% Elastane. It has a stunning 80cm train with a finger loop, making it easy to dance the night away.

The Alexandra gown is all about the beautifully balanced silhouette. Handmade from soft, stretch French lace and hand cut lace motifs appliqúed on every edge. Beginning with a flattering high neck with a plunging V-neck lining and built in cups, the Alexandra has a daringly low, yet wearable open back, which is secured with a single satin button at the neckline. The Alexandra stretches over the head and down the body without any boning or structure. The all-over stretch French lace is fully lined with a light, breathable polyester. I was so comfortable in this dress all day.

The dramatic fishtail skirt, which has a centre front opening and large back godet, has an 80cm train. This dress is made with ivory lace and ivory lining and has built in cups with slightly thicker padding – so there is no need to wear a bra.

The Alexandra is for the woman who is a showstopper – she wants to look striking and feminine, but in a sophisticated and understated way. Our Alexandra was made for the GLL woman we all want to be – she is confident, but modest, she is an effortless, natural beauty – she has it all.
