What I ordered: Lady shares video of stylish dress she ordered and what she got

"Growing up, I always admired my mum’s wedding dress. After I got engaged, my mum told me I could wear her dress. She would always say, “I bought it in Brazil years before I met your Dad or even knew I would get married to him”. I decided to try the dress on, and we all fell in love with it. I actually really looked forward to revamping the dress."

The original dress featured a v-neckline with puffy sleeves. However, Zubaida opted for a turtle neck and a modern mesh lace sleeves, and altered the bodice and sleeves of the dress as well.

She, however, retained the dress skirt.
