The Dress

Structured cuts of glossy Mikado define this elegant gown. With a plunge neckline and cleanly folded princess skirt, this Melena by Pronovias dress has been customized with a leg split for extra drama.

Any bride will feel incredible in this dress.
Achieve the perfect balance of romantic and edgy style with the royal train and clean lines. The firm, structured bodice is really flattering, making you feel comfortable and secure. The full skirt is feminine, with buttons going all the way down the train, while the leg split helps the dress feel lighter and can show off your statement shoes.

An ideal fit for those who are a size 8-10 around the waist, this dress would fit a broad range of bust and hip sizes.

I have a large bra size (12E) and this fit comfortably once the padded cups were removed. Alterations can easily be made to accommodate a smaller bust/ add the cups back in.

Malena by Pronovias. $3,600 RRP
+ $2,100 spent to customize with;

- Tule removed from under the front of the skirt so the fullness is mainly at the back and the fabric falls flatteringly down the front, instead of puffing out

- Beaded belt removed from the waist band for a clean, classic look
- Mikado waist band added for a structured waist
