Gorgeous Chantilly Lace Vera Wang gown.  This dress is magical in its affect and suits a delicate, elegant bride. The base of Chantilly shadow lace acts as the canvas over which there is bouquet of hand-cut flowers made of Alencon lace, for an added textural dimension.  There is a dramatic bottom.  According to Vera Wang herself she has created a "flouncy, multi-tiered skirt, trimmed with horsehair, that bustles in the back. It really holds a strong, dynamic shape, almost a cage-like effect. It’s dramatic in the most elegant way possible. All this frothiness is balanced with a touch of tulle at the neckline, draped asymmetrically with a kind of purposeful disorder. It’s a very pretty softness and lightness right next to the skin that I just love."  I wore this gown on my wedding day January 1, and I'm sure that it will be the perfect gown for a future bride. It was absolutely comfortable to wear and very flattering to the figure.  The dress is in like-new condition.  I wore this gown on my wedding day January 1, 2012 and wore it with the intention for re-sale.  The dress is in perfect condition.
