The Dress

The Gardenia wedding dress features our signature illusion lace back with gorgeous flowers blooming along sheer lace. The lovely V-neckline with intricate embroidered appliques flows into a fitted silhouette and graceful skirt with a dramatic long train. This Ivory lace gown is lined in Ecru satin to bring out the detail of the floral lace.

- Sleeveless sheath fitted through the natural waist and hips, with flowing skirt

- V-neckline with soft bust cups, sheer illusion back

- Chapel length train

- Side zipper

- Nylon lace, poly satin lining

I absolutely loved wearing this dress. The material is slightly stretchy without any stiff boning which ensures a comfortable fit - I even managed to eat dinner on the night - amazing! It was wonderfully light to wear, which was perfect for our summer wedding.

- I am 164cm tall and wore it with 12cm heels.

- The dress has had bust cups sewn in, and a bustle attached so the train can be buttoned up for dancing.

- There is a minor tear (1cm) which has been repaired - it is not noticeable at all.

- It has been professionally dry-cleaned.

I have lots more pics, get in touch if you'd like to see more. Try-ons welcome too.
