The Dress

This dress. Swoon! Where to start?!

I was all ready to go for my June 2018 wedding in Portugal. I'd bought a beautiful Kate Halfpenny dress (still available here: https://www.stillwhite.co.uk/82483-kate-halfpenny) and was feeling good. And then I saw this dress, from Canadian designer Truvelle's newest collection, pop up on a screen one day in January 2018 and I knew it was the one. I purchased it from Heart Aflutter in East London. It's so flattering on, and comfy too!

Canadian Size 6 (UK 10) purchased:
Bust: 34″–35
Waist: ″27″–28″
Hips: free (I'm pear shaped and this was no problem at all on me).

It can definitely be taken in/out a bit as necessary, simply by moving the clasps on the waist.

The only alterations I had were:
- straps were shortened, but the length is still tucked away and can be let out if necessary.
- a bit of the length was taken off the skirt, just at the front, but I'm 5"7 and wore 3 inch heels, so there's still plenty of fabric.
- I asked my tailor to add in a second clasp on the waist as I tend to get a bit bloated after eating and comfort was key for me!
- I had a customisation to add a bit of the same lace from the dress to the back, rather than the illusion mesh. This can be seen in the pictures. I think it makes the bodice look much softer. However, I' sure it can be replaced with illusion fabric if the original is preferred.

I’m a UK 30D and went braless, and that worked for me due to the support provided by the dress, but you could have cups put in/wear a stick on bra.

The dress has been dry cleaned and is almost perfect, other than a few scuffs right at the bottom, which I can send photos of. They're mostly on the inside of the satin lining. There are a few at the bottom on the outside of the lining, but these would be unnoticeable when on, as they're faint but also would be hidden by the layers of fabric on the dress.

Price includes Paypal fee but not postage. If anyone is buying from London I can drop the dress off in central London to avoid postage costs. Will post worldwide, but postage costs and taxes (if relevant) will be at buyer's cost.
