This wedding dress is the Athens 19-112 style by Berta . I bought this dress in 2021, it has been professionally cleaned and is altered. I would describe it as a wedding dress featuring , a A-line silhouette, and a V-neck / Plunging neckline.

I've dreamt about this dress for several years so wearing it was an absolute fairytale in itself!
This dress made me feel incredible, as the intricate detail and overall design had my friends and family in awe and they STILL are bringing up the beauty of the dress now that our photos have come in from our photographer. It has such a romantic vibe, which is exactly what I was going for, for our Italian Tuscany wedding. It's classy, elegant, and luxurious, all the while being unique and jaw-dropping.
This dress will make you feel royal, radiant, flawless, sexy and so romantic! If you think it pictures well, wait until you see it in person! It’s also quite comfortable for a gown.
Note: I had the dress professional dry-cleaned (& preserved) immediately after the wedding to prevent any stains or dirt from setting and It looks like I just purchased it new, I'm convinced the cleaners are magicians 😂
Alterations
- I had it slightly taken in at the back, to prevent gaping.
- I had a bustle added - 3 buttons at the back of the train to pin up for dancing.
- We darted the inner bit of the sleeve about 1-inch to give the arm flexibility, however, this is not a visible alteration when on.
- Lastly, it was almost 40°C/104°C, the morning of we snipped out the lower bikini liner to create some airflow up the dress. To be honest, I was a bit hesitant to do so but now I'm wondering why it was even put in the dress in the first place! You couldn't tell AT ALL nor could you see through as the dress has loads of fabric between the outer-layer and your body.
