About the Dress

The dress is/was magnificent! On the happiest day of my life the dress was somehow even more perfect.

It's both understated, yet outstanding. The shape for me (kind of hour glass but also kind of busty). I'm a size 14 now so can't get it on to show you.

It is a straightish/ curved ish bust which is beautifully engineered bodice and then the sheer Lacey fabric goes over one shoulder. There is a small train, with loops to pick it up, it's in perfect condition after a dry day and professional couture dry cleaning (we were married in France - and my mother in law took is to Chanel, yes really ! ).

There is tiniest of 'pulled threads' on the bodice but is hidden - I'll tell you where it is when we chat but if I didn't you would not find it :-) ).

The bodice is adjustable with a silk bow and an elastic kind of bra arrangement (internal obvs). I am 34 D and wore no bra ... gorgeous fit. Managed a massive 7 course French lunch with ease, probably why I'm easily a size 14 now tbf.

The embroidered flowers have little tiny diamanté and the silk ( I think it is polyester but it's LUXURY fabric!) tie for the bodice at the back is perfect - no damage whatsoever. The detail is magical.

Other than this was the happiest day of my life ( or start of many happy days) then I can't add to the description. We are moving house and I think it's time to stop taking it out of the bag and staring at it!

I hope I am right about the material - I just followed other Essense ofAustralia posts as I don't know what it is really.

I can't think of a more beautiful object that I own .. I hope you share my happiness!

Call me and we can chat. It's been professionally stored ( in a box with non acidic paper etc) and we are a non smoking no pets super super clean house!
