The Dress
The beautiful Elspbeth dress from Jenny Packham. Bought in December 2023 for my wedding in January 2024. I bought the size 12 and had it tailored to fit and shortened the sleeves to reach my hands (the originals were to the floor and were incredibly heavy!). It has stunning sparkly embellishment on the neckline and shoulders. It is wonderfully comfortable fabric and cool to wear.
I absolutely loved wearing the dress for my wedding and would love someone else to enjoy it too!

Alterations
I had the sleeves shortened to half way down my hands – Sleeve length now 76cm from shoulder to end of sleeve.
I had the metal clasp taken off at the nape of the neck and added hooks and eyes to bring the embellished fabric together instead.
The trail was shortened to a puddle trail.
The waist and hips were taken in.
