The Dress

Tara Lauren Clarke dress features an elegant bateau neck lace bodice, slimming cap sleeves and button adorned back finished with a sleek silk crepe skirt. The bodice features two beautiful layers of lace. This dress is fit for any occasion from the urban city bride to the laid-back rustic outdoor bride.
Nude bra cups are sewn into the dress, and can't be seen when worn, but can be easily replaced.
I purchased this dress from Bluebell Bridal in Melbourne, Australia receipts and more pictures can be provided upon request. The dress is in perfect condition and has been expertly dry cleaned.
A thin silk belt was added to the dress to break up the top and the skirt and created a more slimming shape.
A beautiful Ivory Josephine Veil is also included with this dress (98in in length). The trim of the veil was altered to reflect the same lace as the bodice of the dress.
