Most beautiful Christos gown. The foundation of the dress is ivory silk (so it feels great on the skin) with a middle layer of French Chantilly Lace topped with a layer of hand beaded and embroidered Chantilly lace. The crystal beading all through the gown gives it just enough sparkle and you can see all the beautiful layers of the dress through the top layer. The dress is light weight and comfortable as well as stunning. This picture does it no justice. So many brides were waiting to try it on after me. Perfect for any kind of wedding.The dress was only worn for a couple hours.
