About the Dress

Beautiful Claire Pettibone dress, bought for my wedding in 2020 which unfortunately got postponed due to covid. In the meantime I had fallen pregnant so had to get a new dress for the day! All Claire Pettibone dresses are hand-made in LA, there are very few boutiques in the UK where you can find these gowns.
It has a sweetheart neckline and gentle fit to flare silhouette. I had the dress lined in front (original design had a sheer panel in the front as well as the back).
The detailing of the flowers is absolutely exquisite and I'm so sad that I wasn't able to wear this dress!
It is still on the designer's website if you wanted to have a look at more pictures, the designer states:

The breathtaking Odessa couture wedding dress from the Timeless Collection is just that...timeless and unforgettable. How can one dress be utterly romantic and yet classically elegant with a dose of sensuality and modernity? Well, with a figure-flaunting fit-to-flare shape done up in liquid pearl silk and a trail of peek-a-boo floral embroidery and appliques for a start! This strapless sweetheart neckline and contemporary illusion bodice are stunning examples of the hand-crafted couture we create here in our atelier at The Castle. Tactile blooms add a sweet touch with luminous silver and ivory flowers and vines cascading down the sheer tulle train.
