The Dress

This is a beautiful slim fitting gown, covered in stunning delicate lace. None of these pictures do the lace justice! It is hand made in the US, with fine beading throughout the lace over the whole gown. The keyhole back sits nicely, showing just enough.
The neckline is v-neck, with capped sleeves made of the lace. The bodice is fully boned, with more of a sweetheart line, so the sleeves are more for show than to hold the dress up. The boning means you can go bra free.
The body itself is fitted over the hips, before flowing down to a small sweep length train. The back has a hidden zip however does also have some buttons...

This dress is size 18 US and a longer length (I'm 5'11). It is more of a size 14-16 NZ with some extra allowances for a larger bust (E-F cup). The only alterations were to fix the lace onto the bodice so it sat flat by the wedding dress shop on purchase.

There is a loop to allow you to tie the train up, and another loop to hold the train up while you're walking around.

The dress has been dry cleaned at Regal Drycleaners (Newmarket) in April after being worn once on the 31st Jan 15.

The veil is also available for purchase for an additional $100 (bought new for $150). This has two layers, with one hip length. Both layers have beautiful crystal beading and is nice and simple to compliment the lace of the dress.
