What brides ask about The Emily

Does The Emily suit a curvy figure? The structured corset bodice and fit-and-flare silhouette are among the most universally flattering combinations in bridal fashion. The boning creates shape and support, the silhouette accentuates the waist and hip, and the flared skirt creates beautiful balance. Brides of all sizes consistently love how this combination feels on their body.

How dramatic is the cathedral-length train? Cathedral trains are the longest standard bridal train, typically extending around two to two and a half metres from the waist. They create the most breathtaking entrance and the most spectacular photographs, particularly on the walk down the aisle. Your stylist will show you how to bustle it comfortably for the reception.

Will The Emily work at my venue? It has been designed for grand, formal settings, including manor houses, luxury hotels, historic venues and elegant churches, though its natural beauty means it works across most venue styles. The combination of sparkle and lace is particularly stunning in candlelit or evening settings.

Is the off-the-shoulder style secure and comfortable? Yes. The tulle sleeves are attached to the bodice structure and designed to stay in place throughout the day. Many brides are nervous about strapless or off-the-shoulder styles, but The Emily's construction keeps everything exactly where it should be.
