The Dress

"Sultry and sweet is the only way to describe Orianne. She features delicate cap sleeves that accentuate the shoulders and form a clean line that runs into a deep plunging illusion V neckline which is mirrored on the back for the sultry side of the gown. Her soft A-line silhouette has a floral vine climbing motif that gives the gown her sweet nature. The beading glistens in the light as she moves and the scattered 3D flowers give her dimension and catch the eye. Orianne is perfect for brides wanting that fine balance better sultry and sweet."

I wore this beautiful dress to my wedding ceremony and part of the reception. I love the intricate details, including the beading and flowers. Together with the capped sleeves and low back, it felt elegant, pretty and unique. There are minor signs of wear if you look very closely (e.g. under the bottom of the train), but when on, it looks good as new!

Let me know if you're interested in the veil as well - happy to include it for free :)

Alterations

The unaltered dress was a size 12 (AU), but has been altered to fit closer to a size 10. Alterations were done by Raffaele Ciuca's alterations department in Brunswick (costing $890), including a bustle at the back.
