The Dress
I was so happy to wear this dress on my wedding day and hope it can help make your wedding a great one too! I have never come across a lace top like it and the skirt is silk so moves very nicely with a gentle sheen. It has a low V back with poppers and zip to bring it together in the lower back, into the skirt. It has a small train which can be hooked up inside the skirt to make it easier for dancing later.
The dress is in used condition, it has been fully dry cleaned since I wore it on my wedding day. The main wear and tear is to the inside lining of the top. The lining is extremely thin and fragile and so unfortunately has a number of rips in it, mainly these are small but there is a larger rip where the lining joins the skirt at the front. These were there when I wore the dress on my wedding day and as you can see, you cannot tell at all from the outside which is in very good condition.
I am 5'2'' or around 158cm tall. In medium heels the front of the skirt was a little off the floor with my shoes visible. I wore flats in the evening and the skirt was just off the floor, I was able to walk and dance without holding it up. I therefore think that if you are taller than me, you probably would need to wear flats and this dress would be unsuitable for someone significantly taller. If you are shorter than me the skirt could be taken up.
You may be wondering about underwear with such a low back and unstructured front. If you have a small bust sometimes bra cups can be sewn in. I wore a body which you can find by searching 'Ultimo Women's Backless Body Fuller Bust Plunge Everyday Bra' or for smaller sizes there is 'Ultimo Women's Backless Body Push-Up Everyday Bra'. As you can see it is not at all visible from the outside.
Alterations
The top was loose on my figure, which is intended in the design but didn't quite look right with my larger bust! Therefore I had the top altered to be tighter and shorter in line with my figure. This alteration has been undone now, so you can see how it would look without this alteration by typing Laure De Sagazan Verlaine into google and seeing the dress on a model with the looser top. On the skirt one of the poppers has been replaced and some buttons resewn as they had come slightly loose. As you can see from the photos I added a ribbon on my wedding day, but this is not part of the dress. I also added buttons and fastenings inside the lining of the skirt so that the train can be hooked up inside for dancing.
