Style description from Pronovias website:
"Delicateness and sweetness take over this incredible mermaid style dress with fitted waist. A dress created in crepe and tulle. A dress that drapes beautifully, especially the fabric in the skirt, with a large train in the same fabric. The bodice with its discreet V neck, fits perfectly to the silhouette. The Japanese style sleeves filled with detail and embroidered with floral motifs blend into the deep V back. A dress as special and unique as its wearer."

My write-up:
I fell in love with this dress immediately after trying it on. Ivory crepe is such a flattering fabric for fair skinned brides like me (and definitely flattering on any skin type!), and it really shows off a woman's assets: curvy bottom, small waist, lovely back shown off. Delicate beading on the cap sleeves is truly stunning and 'dresses up' the dress, without it being too dramatic or over the top. Guests commented that I looked beautifully 'bridal' without being too much of a 'traditional' bride, which was certainly the look and style I was going for. The dress has been altered (see alterations section below) to include a bustle, which was fantastic for keeping the train out of the way during lawn games and dancing. Guests complimented me on the 'magic' way the dress transformed from having a long, beautiful train during the ceremony, and then into a tucked up, beautiful bustle during the afternoon activities. I felt so comfortable, bridal, and very much ME in this dress. I can't wait for the next bride to enjoy it as much as I did :)

Note: The Dralan style is very similar to many of Pronovias' cap sleeved, mermaid style crepe dresses. If you've found one with a different style name that looks similar, there's a very good chance this will fit the same, but just have slightly different beading on the sleeves. Eg Fez or Irune. Check out the official website via link above :)

Great condition: Worn for my big day on 22 Sep 2018 in Hunter Valley, NSW, Australia. Professionally dry cleaned immediately afterward and now sitting clean, safe and beautifully wrapped in a big white box. Smoke and pet free home. Ready to be shipped anywhere in the world to make a bride happy! Contact me for a shipping quote.

Shoe tip from a bride who has been there: I wore ballet flats all day - I highly recommend the off-white Myrina style ballet by Avec Les Filles. I am 165cm tall.

Size 10 AU/UK.
Size 6 US.

Alterations

Hemmed to suit my 165cm height - I wore ballet flats all day (highly recommend the off-white Myrina style ballet by Avec Les Filles). Bustle added so train can be beautifully swept up and attached to (decorative) buttons on the back of the dress - see photo 4. (I got lots of compliments about the dress in both full train and bustle style!). Hand bustle straps were also added under the train if you prefer to carry the train in your hand / on your wrist. Plus small alterations to make it fit my body perfectly (shoulders, hips) :)
