I LOVE THIS DRESS! Honestly I can’t tell you how many compliments I got on this dress!

The amazing weight associated with the beading was like a weighted blanket washing away any nerves I had on the day. It also has an amazing effect visually on my tummy - making it look like I’d never touched a carb in my life!

The ease of wear with a single zip to access the dress and built in cups made wearing the dress a breeze and little fuss!

The short train was all I needed to make a statement and I didn’t have the battle of guests treading on it the whole day! A serious blessing!!!

I’ve thought long and hard about selling this dress and have even considered chopping off the bottom to get one more wear out of it at a cocktail event. But it gave me so much joy and I can’t think of anything better than passing those feelings and wishes to the next bride!

The dress post the party of my life has been dry cleaned however due to the delicate nature there is some minor discoloration on the train.

Beading is absent in some rows of dress due to my epic dance moves. I since have seen the original alteration company recommended by Rachel Gilbert paddington who state it is easily repairable. Replacement beading will be provided with the dress.
