You’ll feel natural and beautiful in this stunning, absolutely classic lace dress.
+ deep sweetheart neckline to flatter your bust
+ long, clean lines, giving you curves and length; fit and flare to accentuate all the right parts
+ intricate and bold lace pattern in geometric shapes, which continue down the length of the dress, providing depth and interest (no flowers!)
+ gorgeous scalloping on the edges of the chapel-length train
+ refined U-shape back with elegant covered buttons (over zipper back closure)
+ internal structure, giving you security and support (inner corset closure; some tulle in skirt)
+ perfect for bustling and easy to dance in

I loved this dress. It would suit someone with a small, delicate frame. It was extremely comfortable and lightweight - no issues sitting down to eat - no problem eating as much as I wanted! The two things I loved most about this dress were the scalloped hemline in alternating shapes, and the unique, geometric pattern on the lace.

This is a simple, elegant dress and it will suit someone understated and wanting to look healthy and easily beautiful on the day. This is an fit-and-flare dress with a sweetheart neckline, a slight dip in the back, and a bit of a mermaid shape at the train. In other words, it is the type of silhouette which is easy for most people to pull off. It does not have many bells and whistles, but they will know you are confident in yourself and you love the way you look!
