I love this gown so much! I was married on August 10th, 2013 and I bought this gown at L'Atilier Couture in Minneapolis.
This was the third dress that I tried on and as soon as it was on, I just absolutely loved it! My mom I both just knew that this was the one--it is a stunning dress. This dress is classic and feels "of the moment". The Point D' Esprit lace is delicate, detailed, and gives the body and skirt a lovely weight to it, without feeling heavy. The dress consists of a silk underlayer, and a lace overlay sewn together with impeccable craftsmanship.
It is a sweetheart top, with lace extending over the top of the bust to contrast beautifully with your skin. The dress is fitted through the waist and then lets out towards your hips, slightly hugging the derriere without being too tight--it shows your figure but also lets you move. Incredibly comfortable, the right weight, and just very beautiful and easy to wear.
You will look and feel incredibly fabulous in this gown! Lace extends over the silk which shows off the beauty of the train. The train tucks up into a french bustle when you're ready to dance the night away. It is in perfect condition, has only been worn once and has been professionally preserved. The dress is a soft ivory.
I have uploaded some images of my wedding day, another great link to check out is this posting below. It may be helpful as there are many images of the dress in many variations (standing, sitting, from the back, etc.)
Thanks for your interest and feel free to contact me with any questions. I'd be delighted to see this dress complete your look on your special day! Congratulations!
