The Dress

This dress is a bespoke gown made for me by Mille Feuille Bridal in Christchurch. It was based on a Jenny Packham design which was out of my price range! It is silk jersey lined with antique lace, it is therefore snug and has a certain amount of 'give' in it, very, very comfortable to wear. It is ivory in colour.

It has a very timeless, elegant and feminine feel and look. It has a hidden zip down one side and is able to be put on over the head. The dress has clear, virtually invisible domes on the skirt part which can be undone to let the lace fall to the ground for photos. The upper part is double lined with the same silk jersey for comfort. I wore shape wear underneath and no lines were visible.

I am a size 10, but would likely fit up to a size 12 also. This dress is just too beautiful to sit in my wardrobe. I think it has the 'wow' factor and would love to see another bride enjoy as much as I did.
