The Dress
This stunning dress was purchased from Modes boutique in Newmarket, Auckland, New Zealand. The dress itself was made in Spain by Atelier Pronovias, meaning it was made to order just for me. It was altered to fit me as I’m in between an NZ/UK/AU 8 - 10. I kept the full train but this could be altered too.
My husband and guests were blown away by the gown - they said it was timeless and classic, and also modern and a little risqué with the plunging neckline and low back. Multiple people said it was the most beautiful wedding dress they had ever seen. I felt very glamorous in this dress and love that it’s not a cliche bridal look right now.
The dress can be styled in a number of different ways - suits hair up and down and can work well with statement jewellery. Seen on Loho_Bride Instagram as they have a sample, one of the most trendy and stylish bridal boutiques based in L.A and San Fransisco.
MEASUREMENTS AFTER TAILORING:
Front length: 5 feet, 1.5 inches/1.57 metres
Back length with train: 9 feet/2.75 metres
Waist: 13.5 inches/34cm
Hips: 19 inches/48cm, comes in tighter under hips/top of thigh to 18 inches/45cm
Bust: 13 inches/33cm
Straps: 1 inch/2.5cm at top of shoulder and then increase heading down to bust
Dress has been altered in waist and back so is not an NZ/AU/UK 10. Best fit a NZ/AU/UK 8 so there’s room to get it taken it perfectly. I have size 10 hips so didn’t have it taken in at hips at all. Dress was taken up slightly to suit my height in heels but I did not alter the full train. Train could be made smaller and there are photos online of women who have completely removed train. Dress has train ties to be tied up during wedding (shown in black and white photo of my partner and I). The straps and both sides of the front and back were neckline and back were also altered to be smaller as this was more flattering.
Dress has some light discolouration around the inside edging of train. Having the train made slightly smaller (less than 1 inch or 1 cm!) would fix this easily! The dress has lost 2 small clear beads from being dry cleaned - one on back and one on front. The dress has spare beading under arm so easy fix.
Welcome to try on in Auckland, NZ. Happy to post internationally!
Description from Pronovias website:
ATELIER PRONOVIAS
Classic but very trendy. Sophisticated but very sensual. Simple but very stylish. That describes this marvellous mermaid design with Josephine embroidery and gemstone appliqué. The skirt opens out into a large train, while the bodice displays a plunging V-neckline at the bust and back, and really accentuates the armholes to give it that extra feminine touch.
