The Dress
I knew this was the dress for me the moment I saw it at Tuscany Bridal on Oxford St in Perth, having fallen in love with the pleated mikado silk skirt and the keyhole back. Originally sleeveless, I had a vision of adding long sleeves and adding a mikado-silk sash with a structured bow and long tails for dramatic effect. When I bought the dress, I ordered extra lace and silk from the manufacturer to form the sleeves and sash, fashioning a custom ensemble that goes together seamlessly. I coupled the dress with a cathedral-length veil, very much in the Kate Middleton style popular at the time. My wedding day was the most beautiful I've ever felt in my life.
This dress is well travelled, having come with me to my hometown in Houston, Texas for the wedding, and back again to Perth. Through it all, it has picked up only minor scuffs/dirt on the underside of the train (inevitable on a dance floor!) and has been dry-cleaned. It will require a good steam, but will wear again beautifully for a classic bride-to-be. I couldn't stand the thought of this beautiful dress sitting in my closet for the rest of my life - I hope it will bring another bride joy on her wedding day.
Long sleeves added (same lace as bodice, no beading)
Custom mikado silk sash w/ bow and long tails (accessory - not attached)
Cups sewn in to bodice
Three-point bustle
Some scuffs on the underside of the train, visible on some edges but very discrete amidst meters and meters of pristine, ivory fabric and easily eliminated if you hem the dress to suit your height/shoes.
Included in this listing is cathedral-length silk veil and hoop skirt (optional - I wore for extra volume)
