I ordered my GLL Alexandra dress about 6 months before my wedding day. I also found out we were expecting about two and a half months before the wedding day! Although this was a wonderful surprise, I knew my dress was being tailored to my measurements when I had no baby growing inside of me. I had hoped my size wouldn't change enough in the 11 weeks of pregnancy to cause issues with my beautiful dress (that was already paid for/ordered)..but unfortunately, I was so tiny to begin with, my tummy had grown just enough in that short time that I knew I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing it in front of everyone on the day. Especially since we weren't telling extended family yet!! So about a week & a half before my wedding day, I decided I needed to find a replacement. This beautiful dress was sent to me in Texas all the way from Australia, and I ended up getting the dress I wore on my wedding day from a local store in my hometown. The GLL dress has never been worn out anywhere, only tried on twice. So basically brand new. And although my heart broke when I realized I couldn't wear it on my wedding day, I hope it can make someone else feel so very special on theirs!
The Alexandra is for the woman who is a natural showstopper – she wants to look striking and feminine, sophisticated and effortless. Made for the iconic GLL woman – she has soul, passion, confidence and substance.
The Alexandra gown is all about the beautifully balanced silhouette, which highlights the female shape in an elegant and subtle way. Handmade from soft, stretch French lace and hand cut lace motifs appliqúed on every edge. Beginning with a flattering high neck with a plunging V-neck lining and built in cups, the Alexandra has a daringly low, yet wearable open back, which is secured with a single satin button at the neckline. We love the dramatic fishtail skirt, which has a centre front opening and large back godet, with a stunning 120cm train. A concealed finger loop is featured on the train and also provides a bustle to keep you moving and dancing all night.
