The Dress
Beautifully elegant couture wedding dress by London bridal designer Fiona Clare, originally purchased for $8,600. The designer’s website is http://www.fionaclare.co.uk/#!bridal-wear/c14ak.
Website gives a good indication of design, material and seamstress quality - the photos I’ve posted aren’t professionally taken and don’t do the dress justice. The silk dress was bespoke made and is covered in the most exquisite Chantilly lace, which was sourced from France. The lace has a gorgeous scallop to the edge and beautifully frames the base and subtle train of the dress. Corsetry is one of Fiona Clare’s specialities and the fine boning corset in this dress gives an incredible shape. The dress can be worn with or without an underskirt (to create a fuller skirt if you prefer) and there is a tie-up to create a bustle for dancing. The dress perfectly balances a classic, elegant style without being too traditional or fussy; it is truly timeless.
I tried on many dresses in my search for ‘the one’ and can honestly say that the high quality of the design and tailoring, the corsetry and the superior silk and lace used in this dress makes it stand out from anything else I saw. It was an absolute pleasure wearing it on the day and I felt just amazing. I received countless comments on the dress (as I’m sure most brides do) and numerous friends have since asked me for details on the designer.
I am 154cms, wore 9cm heels and preferred the dress quite long (it could certainly fit someone taller). I’m a petite build and normally wear a retail size 6-8. The internal corsetry does allow for some flexibility in size and fit.
I wore a hired underskirt to make the dress fuller for some of the photos. so you have the option to keep quite a slender line or make a fuller fishtail. The dress has been professionally dry cleaned by wedding dress specialists (receipt is in the box). I will include the wedding storage and travel box I purchased. The company I purchased this from is award winning and makes the boxes by hand. It is approved by airlines for keeping with you in-cabin in case you need to travel with your dress, and also provides long-term storage, including acid-free tissue paper, for your dress after the big day (there are Royal wedding dresses stored in boxes made by this company).
I know that I’ll love this dress as much in 40 years’ time as I do today, however it’s a shame to leave such a stunning dress in a box in my cupboard. I’d love someone else to enjoy wearing it like I have.
