This gorgeous gown has cap sleeves and a portrait, sweetheart cut neckline. It's is made of intricate Parisian lace and has a modified A-line skirt and the back is covered in lace buttons down to the zipper. This dress was a sample and is missing three buttons. The tailor said that it is easy fix - replacement buttons are easy to find or simply make it into a hook. The back of this beautiful design is complete with a high illusion neckline and a puddle train. The lace is thick - I wore a nude bra and you couldn't see it at all through the back! This would made it a lovely selection for any season. Yet the dress itself weighs very little - I easily carry it with only one arm. And the train length is perfect if you want a train for the ceremony but don't want to be weighed down by a heavy bustle during the reception. I also loved the cap sleeves. The sleeves form one piece of seamless lace with the back and adds sophistication and character to this dress. This gown is elegant and feminine, and I hope it makes a bride very, very happy!
I bought this dress at White Traditions in St. Charles, MO. It is unused, as I did ultimately decide to go with another dress. I do recommend that the buying bride be about 5'7, as it's really made to flatter a longer figure than my own!
