I’d never have found, or been able to afford, my perfect dress if it wasn’t for Stillwhite. It’s a brilliant idea that more brides should know about.

The Dress

This gorgeous dress was purchased from Leonie Claire in 2015 from my wedding. It is a Claire Pettibone design from the Romantique range and the gown is called Gardenia.

This next paragraph is the info from the Claire Pettibone website about the dress:

"Gardenia Gown -
If you are a romantic at heart, we dare you to resist the charms of our Gardenia wedding dress. This design features Claire’s signature illusion lace back with gorgeous flowers blooming along the sheer lace. The fitted silhouette flows into a graceful skirt with intricate embroidered appliques, and a lovely V-neckline. Follow that sheer lace back to the dramatic long train, and you’re in bridal heaven!"

* * *

It is Ivory lace with a floral pattern, has a sating lining and is absolutely stunninag. It is a UK size 14, which is my general high street shop size. I had a few alterations made to the length so that it sits on the floor and a little tweak to pull the material in at the sides so that it sat nicely around my chest. I am 5ft 8inches tall and a size 36/38 C if that helps!

It is a slinky style and you cannot wear a bra with it due to the sheer lace at the back. I also found that any underwear did show through the dress (i tried a lot of styles!), so i went commando to avoid a knicker line.

Once you have slipped it on over your head, it does up at the side with a zip and hook. There is also a very small hidden hook underneath the material at the back of the dress to hook the trail up once the ceremony is over to help avoid damage. I have included photos of the trail and of how it looks when hooked up.

I have washed the dress myself as dry cleaning fees are ridiculous. Please don't disregard it now and think its in poor condition or damaged, as the dress is absolutely fine. The images you see are since i lovingly hand washed and dried it. Its as good as new and i cannot see any flaws. I would post it in the black wedding gown carrier bag (it's as long as the dress) provided when i purchased it.

I wore a bolero with this which i also purchased from Leonie Claire and would be happy to include it in the sale for an additional price of £50. Its by sasso and they are around £250 RRP. I can include photos of it and further images of the dress upon request.

I will include next day special delivery guaranteed postage in this price to ensure it is sent tracked, signed for and with cover.

Please feel free to ask me any questions.

It is a sad sale, but this dress is too gorgeous to stay hanging up in its carrier when someone else could feel incredible in it on their special day.

Thanks for looking.
