The Dress

This dress is truly beautiful. The pattern is made up of glitter. Depending on the light it can shine slightly gold while still appearing as a white dress. Around the waist and the edging around the V-neck and low back is white/cream beading.
The puffy sleeves have buttons on the cuff and match the buttons on the back.
The shape was brilliant and comfortable all day (even after food).
The dress sparkled all day long and I have never had so many compliments.
The entire wedding was in 1 hotel so we only popped outside for photos for 20 minutes, the dress is in excellent condition.
The veil is included, I bought the veil at the dress shop so the colour matched. The veil has very small sequins scattered. The veil was worn for the ceremony and photos then removed for the Wedding breakfast. The condition is like new.

I had a lot of compliments on the dress as not many had seen something like this. The wedding was Oct 2023 and the weather was warm. I didn't feel hot in the dress and the sleeves kept me warm when outside if there was a cool breeze.
The size is a UK 12. I would say a medium UK 12.
I did use double-sided sticky tape around the edging of the dress around the bust and on the shoulders so it didn't slip. The tape lasted all day and wasn't uncomfortable.

Alterations

The Length was taken up.
The sleeves were long and massive! So had these taken up.
The back of the dress was originally a little lower but I had it altered to cover more of my lower back and side for more support.
I had bra cups added - these are only held in by a few stitches and could be removed easily (I am a 34DD).
