The Dress

Beautiful dress by saint bridal couture, The dress is called Miles but I customised it to be strapless as I loved their strapless Cole dress too and wanted to combine the two. I loved the neckline of Cole but preferred the more ethereal and simplistic body of miles which was more flattering on my figure. The handmade lace and tulle on this dress is beautiful . I had it amended to be a bandeau neckline- and had matching tulle sleeves made which I clipped the original bows on to to give that super romantic look. I had so many compliments about how unique and stunning the dress was on my wedding day and it’s so nice to know there’s no other the same. You can buy the Cole sleeves from saint bridal retailers seperately for £400 Mine unfortunately are a little snagged but I would include them with the dress for free. Sadly the detachable bows went missing when I changed into my evening dress, but you could easily make them or perhaps buy them as an accessory from saint bridal. I also have the pattern pieces to create the sleeeves and know an excellent seamstress- I would be happy to have the sleeves made for you significantly cheaper if you didn’t want to purchase them at £400 The dress has been dry cleaned and is spotless, comes in dry cleaning and garment bag so it’s full protected. Beautiful handmade lace and tulle fabric Original dress is size 10. Measurements I’m The dress has been amended slightly to be an 8/10 Size 10 hips/ waist and 8 bust My Measurements are as below Across my bust is 84cm and across my ribs is 75cm- Waist is 68 Hips-90 I’m in between an 8&10 in uk sizes, my bust is more of an 8 (34a)and the waist I didn’t alter at all as it was a perfect fit in size 10. So we just took in the bust a little when I had the dress altered, however there would be room here as it’s not corseted and it was loose on me. Height I’m 5ft 10 and it was just above my feet and I only wore kitten heels, but if you had higher heels it would be perfect length too if smaller. Sleeve and bows not included as I had them made and unfortunately they got damaged during my evening do as I kept them on with my mini dress. I do however have the pattern pieces for these and could easily get some made for a reasonable price should you wish to have sleeves, Alternatively you can buy them as an accessory from saint bridal for £400 RRP £3500 so I’m selling for less than half price https://www.saintbridalcouture.com/collections/austro-collection/miles-gown If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask- it really is a beautiful dress and it’s one of a kind due to the neckline amendments. I am also happy to send more pictures and videos Many thanks Lucy .

Alterations

As mentioned I had the neckline altered to make it strapless and had it taken in on the bust to make it tight enough to stay up as it’s backless. For reinforced security I taped myself in so it didn’t move all day with double sided breast tape- it would be a great fit for someone with a similar bust size to me 34-a/b I had some light padding put in the cups to give a bit more shape.
