The Dress

Raffaele Cuica editorial on my dress and wedding day: http://www.raffaeleciuca.com.au/annelise-william/

The most breath-taking dress in the world.

I purchased this dress from Raffaele Cuica on High Street Melbourne - one of the best bridal stores in Australia.

Dress skirt is made up of a number of layers, nude coloured chiffon, a white chiffon with small diamonds that flicker in the light, a few more layers topped off by a chiffon with 3D (handmade) florals that give this dress life. All these layers create an amazing visual effect and texture.

Fabric is extremely delicate, but sturdy at the same time - extremely flattering on all body types and very comfortable.

Most photos you find online of this dress will make it look as though it is off white/ nude, in real life it is completely white.

All the guests at my wedding commented on how my dress was the most beautiful, unique dress they had ever seen. I hope it can make someone else as happy as I was on my day.

it was made to a size 8, alterations were made to shorten the straps and hem and the waist was taken in slightly.

Straps are able to be made longer if necessary. Also has a function to bustle the dress for dancing and straps to hold the dress with your wrist (when dancing).

Padding was placed in the bust, would fit up at C cup, however I was an A cup and able to get away with padding.
