A preloved Hermione de Paula dress which required full dress alterations. This gown was made bespoke for the previous bride and required full dress alterations and carefully applied fixes to the delicate tulle. The lace and beaded detailing is embroidered directly onto the tulle and the hem needed shortening. All alterations carried out by April whilst still keeping the integrity of the designers vision for the final gown.
