Worn for 20 minute ceremony, 20 minutes of pictures and a 2 mins walk to restaurant - always with bustle up because I was never that fussed about the long train - loved how the dress looked on me regardless. I changed into 2nd gown before meal. Unaltered except for professional seamstress adding buttons for bustle.

I normally wear a dress size 14 but the 16 fit me - I'm 5 ft 10 and didn't need the dress taking up at all (I wore kitten heels) so it's still full length

A lace and tulle gown with a sheer illusion neckline and plunging front, finished with hand-beaded embellishments. Floral embroidery frames a low-cut sheer back, with subtle sequins underneath for shimmer. It features a structured bodice and a long, dramatic tulle train with appliqués throughout.
