Custom made design, featuring the hand beaded "Ava" bodice, a beautiful beaded belt to compliment the flattering "Kitty" satin skirt from ethical Australian designer Karen Willis Holmes. Sweetheart neckline and a train make this a very elegant wedding dress for your special day, I wore this dress with a two teired chapel length veil (happy to include for free with dress sale). This gown served me so well on mine!
The hand beading is divine, delicate and beautiful. Not the cheap and bulky designs you can see available. I wanted to find a dress made with love, under ethical conditions, knowing that my dress caused no one any harm and was not made cheaply under terrible labor conditions.
The back has a fully concealed zipper in the skirt and then hooks at the top (which could be adjusted) and laces up the back. This offers a bit of room either side on the sizing front. It is a size AUD 12- 14, mainly a 14 for my bust - I am a 36/38DD/E and more of a 12 around the waist. However you could lace this up tighter for a smaller bust and have the skirt adjusted too.
There are no marks or stains on this dress which has been professionally dry-cleaned (environmentally friendly/green cleaner). It has some roughage at the bottom from wearing outside.
