However, the slit at the front was a bit higher than I expected for a church wedding. I ended up getting a local dressmaker to stitch it up a few centimetres. Still a gorgeous piece and really well made for the price.

Absolutely stunning in real life! The lace is so soft and the front split makes walking a breeze.

The heavy drape of the skirt makes it feel really luxe, and the colour is a true white. I wore it for hours and the inner lining was totally breathable. My only tiny issue was the zip catching a bit around the waist seam, just take your time zipping it up.

I was so nervous buying my dress online but wow. The off-the-shoulder sleeves actually stay in place and don't restrict my arms when I move. It did arrive with a few creases in the tulle so you definitely need a good steamer, but the quality is absolutely stunning.

Honestly an absolute bargain for such a stunning piece. It seriously looks like it cost ten times what I actually paid for it, which is bloody brilliant!
