The Dress
Babushka Ballerina long sleeve Ivory Lace Gown with nude underlay.
Sweetheart neckline underlay with boning at waist and bust for support.
Ivory lace covering entire gown including long sleeves, with ivory buttons reaching the length of the back and on wrists. Ivory satin sash added to define waist.
Gown has a zipper to fasten, with the bottom button reinforced to use as bustle. There is also a band attached to the skirt to use as a bracelet instead of using the bustle to lift the skirt off the ground.
I am usually a straight size 12, with a bigger bust and waist. The dress fit perfectly around the waist as a standard size 12/Medium. The bust needed to be altered slightly to make it tighter as this sweetheart neckline with supportive cups and boning around the waist under the lace was a new addition to this particular gown. I am 172cm tall and with 6cm heels didn't require any alterations to the length.
As someone who doesn't usually wear fitted clothes, this dress made me feel comfortable and beautiful. I am sad to pass it on but would be so very happy to make someone else's day!
Alterations
I made some small alterations with the addition of the satin sash as well as the buttons down the back and wrists. The shoulders were tightened and the bust was altered, bringing it in down to the waist. The arms were also slightly altered so they were tighter to create a better shape. My wonderful seamstress did this from under the arms at the seam so I couldn't even tell it had been altered.
