The Dress
The most beautiful and highly sought after La Sposa Denia lace and tulle wedding dress. From the Costura 2014 collection.
This timeless dress definitely stands alone. I have never seen a dress to compare.
In IVORY.
The most flattering mermaid shaping underneath (the first layer) which shows off your curves beautifully whilst also holding you in firmly but is very, very comfortable. It has a built in bra and the bodice is boned. You don't have to wear a bra but I did for extra support. I wore this with a hooped mermaid underskirt which made it easier to walk and not kick the front of the dress. The main dress underneath is peppered with divine REAL swarowski crystals which catch the light beautifully. Having the glorious tulle overlay allows a little subtle disguise if you feel that mermaid is too revealing, with the stunning train of lace at the back. It gives this dress an almost 3D effect. So unusual. I have tried to photograph the lace with the light catching the crystals. The back is zippered and has covered satin buttons with tiny elastic around each one which disguises the zip. The sweetheart tulle neckline that cris crosses gives lovely definition to the bust area and is not too low cut.
The main dress underneath has layers of lace which flare out from around the knee and the tulle has the gorgeous design of lace all around.
The photographs do not do this gown justice. I have just looked at numerous images on the internet and you just cannot see the beauty, it really is the most exquisite gown in real life. It will take your breath away.
Would suit a younger or a more mature bride. (I was actually a 51 year old bride !! and I didn't feel that it was too young for me)
This dress was a size 14 but I had the waist taken in and the bust line taken in a little bit. I am pear shaped. It was shortened professionally as well. Bust size is 34/35 D. My hips are more of a size 14 and probably measured around 41 inches at the widest part. My waist would have been around 30 inches.
I am five feet three and half inches tall (5' 3") and I wore 3 1/2 inch heels
I have also had it bustled with a double lift and the bustling is strong as there is a lot of lace to contend with. Bustling is where the dress can be lifted and attached at the back so that it doesn't drag along the floor. You can dance in this dress when this is done.
The gown has been professionally cleaned and appears spotless. They have done an amazing job with it. I can't see a mark on it anywhere.
When I bought this dress I didn't realise just what I had. When I searched online for it there were brides, mostly in the USA, who were desperate for a second hand one because they couldn't afford it new. In the USA it was between $3,500 to $4.500.
It was priced at £1999 and I did get a little off this, but the alterations cost £200 as the lace couldn't be lifted from the waist and was painstakingly removed and stitched back on by hand. The cleaning was nearly £100.
You are welcome to view and try the dress on. Please message me for more details.
If not, please make sure that you understand and have read the sizes before you buy. I will post the dress at my cost, using the most appropriate method.
See the description for the alterations that were done. It was taken in under the bust and in at the waist and shortened.
