The Dress

From the Grace Loves Lace website: "Fusing sexiness, with all the right classic, sophisticated details, the Valentina perfectly encapsulates the GLL bride. Our Valentina gown is for the woman who wants a traditional dress, but with chic, modern touches.

The Valentina, a favourite of the GLL team, features a flattering shape, beginning with a semi-fitted lace bodice with longer line, t-shirt sleeves and straight edge or sweetheart lining, for a contemporary feel. We love the open back with a double satin button closure and artfully placed lace motifs. The dramatic, full circle skirt has been handmade with 10 metres of Italian silk chiffon and a high side split adorned with French eyelash lace. The Valentina is the only dress in our collection with a skirt of this kind.

Moving like liquid, the Valentina is an unforgettable, timeless gown that was made for movement."

... I LOVED wearing this dress. It was incredibly comfortable (the stretch lace & elastic waist are amazing) and I felt like the most beautiful version of myself the whole day. I don't want this incredible dress to sit unused in my closet and would love to find it a new home.

There is small hole on the skirt that has been professionally repaired, as well as a few minor discolourations on the skirt. These are shown in the last photo, but are barely visible when the dress is worn because of the movement and flow of the skirt. The dress has been professionally cleaned.

Comes with the original GLL box & bag.
