The Dress
A modern twist on a traditional ball gown! Full skirt of lightweight matte Mikado. Classic silhouette, clean-cut front split with pleats. The structured bodice features a modern square neckline with wide straps. Best of all: it has pockets! Seller is London-based.

Alterations
I am normally a comfortable size 10, but the shop accidentally ordered in a size 6!!! They worked their magic and managed to alter the dress so it fit me beautifully - it probably came out as a size 8 in the end (I was a bit thinner on my wedding day!). The shop's mistake ended up being a blessing in disguise because the skirt wasn't too full.
