This dress was a dream. As my best friend said, this dress makes its wearer look like Belle from Beauty and the Beast. I went shopping with my sisters anticipating buying something inexpensive and off the rack only to find this dress and fall head over heels in love with it. I had the dress cleaned and preserved and had anticipated "keeping it for my daughter" but I am in the process of moving into a smaller property and reality has hit.
Made entirely from ivory duchess silk with rouching and pickups and an organza overlay, this dress was the talk of my wedding. The dress is zippered with lovely silk button details and a french bustle.
Measurements: Bust 34 Waist 26 Hips 36
