Nikki Hill was an eponymously named bridal boutique in Botley, UK. Nikki was in business for over 30 years and was also a Corsetier (designs and makes corsets) She is now retired,and the shop closed.

This stunning dress is Ivory, with a hand embroidered and beaded bodice. The embroidery was based on fuchsia flower colours - purples/blues/pinks with lots of silver thread. It features trumpet sleeves, that open at the elbow and drop almost to the ground, and a 3 foot train, which is tied up into a bustle for the evening.

I spent GBP 2.500 on this dress, and it was so hot on my wedding day I must have only worn it for a couple of hours before changing into my evening gown, It was then professionally cleaned and has been carefully stored since then.

Unfortunately I don't think either of my sons will want to wear the dress for their wedding!
