About the Designer:
Ian Stuart, is one of Britain's leading bridal designers. He has his own TV show called The Posh Frock Shop on Channel 4 in the UK, and the show is soon to come to Bravo in the US. His dress designs are unique in that each one makes you feel a different emotion. His structuring is outstanding and the cut is divine.
Why I chose this dress:
This dress made me feel strong and feminine. It was comfortable and made me feel secure. The boning and corset hid my belly fat and accentuated my bust line.
How it can work for you:
You can have the sleeves adjusted to be totally of the shoulder instead of partially. You can show as much or as little cleavage as you wish. It has hooks on the inside so that you can choose to hitch the train up at the back so it doesn't drag on the floor at your reception.
Sizing:
It would fit anyone from US size 8 to size 14 with alterations. My measurements are 40-36-39 inches and I am 5 foot five inches tall, without heels.
Other info:
It was part of a very happy occasion. So it has great vibes.
+++Professional cleaning required. Nothing was spilled or splattered on the dress it is in outstanding condition. It only has dirt picked up while walking down the aisle and to and from the car. Minor damage on the hem line. Please see photos.
