The Dress

This is the Julie Vino - Marissa dress with original dress sleeves.
On my wedding day i wore Alena Leena - Nolina Sleeves instead. The sleeves are detachable and I recommend doing so. They are beautiful, but i am sure you can see in the photos, on the day it made the edges of the dress turn down. If you would like to wear the sleeves i suggest tying them to your arm with a small ribbon. Then the edges of the dress will stand up nicely.
Alternatively if you would like the original Marissa dress sleeves. They shit around your arm and will not cause the edges of you dress to turn down.
The Marissa dress is a mermaid strapless. The figure-hugging silhouette flows into a dramatic flared skirt, making it a captivating choice for brides who desire a blend of classic sophistication and oceanic grace on their special day.
If you are a large Aus size 8 this should fit you, if you are a normal size 8 you will be able to get it taken in a tad more to fit perfectly.

Alterations

The dress fit like a size 10 aus clothing and i had it taken in to fit my body which is more towards the size 8, with D boobs. I also had the dress brought in, in the middle of the dress due to a spacing issue for the cups. This can be unpicked to bring front of dress back to original state.
