The Dress

The Dawn wedding dress designed by Madeline Gardner features a relaxed A-line and has a botanical embroidered lace bodice with a chic square neckline on a breezy chiffon skirt. I absolutely loved my dress and its classic elegance. It was comfortable and romantic and very easy to hook up the train for the dance. This dress stands the test of time! I received many compliments from my husband, family, and guests of all ages.

The dress feels casual and cool without losing that classic bridal touch. The square neck bodice features unique embroidered lace appliqués over romantic Chantilly lace and a stunning matching square back. The A-line chiffon skirt is absolutely effortless and completed by a dainty cut-away lace detail on the train.

Alterations

Minor alterations were completed by Custom Sewing by Heather, an award winning seamstress. This included bringing in the sides slightly, raising the hem, and adding the loop for the train for the dance. This was easy to put up using a simple crochet hook. A more comfortable cup was also added but can be removed. I am 5'7" and wore 2 inch heels, which worked perfectly. This dress was also professionally cleaned after the wedding to restore it to its beautiful condition.
