The Dress

Twirl into your happily ever after in a princess-like gown that radiates glamour and sparkle! Layers of misty tulle and soft champagne organza create a voluminous A-line skirt that shimmers with every step. Stunning hand-beaded ivory lace appliques sparkle on the sweetheart bodice, which features a plunging sheer tulle panel. Bold lace appliques float along the entire skirt hem, fall softly over the hips, trail down the back and lead to a gorgeous chapel length train. 3-Dimensional floral lace features on the entire gown and creates stunning off the shoulder straps for a classic bridal style. An incredible illusion back features floating lace detail and fabric covered buttons.

Purchased at a trunk show preview in Melbourne for the current Kindred Spirits Spring 2020 Collection, this specific dress did not become part of the collection so is a one of a kind couture dress featuring all of this seasons trends, but for a sale price. Similar dresses in the collection would be; Trixie, Esther, Serina and Alannah https://www.sophiatolli.com/categories/spring-2020

I loved wearing this dress, it had the full body skirt I wanted but achieved it through clever tailoring rather than layers and layers of uncomfortable and heavy netting like I had previously tried on in other dresses. The 3D flowers were gorgeous and the dress looked stunning from every angle.

I did not add a bustle as I changed into a second dress, however the applique lace down the back of the skirt would look really gorgeous when bustled.

Alterations

Bust cups added, taken in at the waist, off the shoulder straps were originally on poppers but I had them sewn on, could easily be made detachable again. Also hemmed. I am 5'4" and was wearing 10cm heels.
