This beautiful dress is a real show stopper. It would suit a bride who is looking for something a little different and doesn't mind being the centre of attention. It was comfortable, moved extremely well, and looks amazing in photos (thanks to the enormous amount of embroidery and “invisible” sequin detail). I had MANY compliments!! The dress remains a current Leah S Designs style - Katherine - still available on the website. Dress comes in one piece.
***Included is the matching long cathedral veil with invisible sequin trim.***
The dress under the outermost ivory lace detail layer is actually “latte” in colour. This really makes the lace overlay pop! The dress looks very much like an off-white colour overall, particularly in the photos. (The dress also came in a white version but it didn’t look anywhere near as nice and unique as this one as you couldn’t see the lace detail as well.) I never would have thought I would wear a dress this colour but once I put it on I was smitten! And husband just thinks it is white *HAHA*

DESIGN/FIT: A-line - Fitted bodice with full skirt, corset back. Can be worn in three configurations: strapless, with matching straps on the shoulder or with straps off the shoulder.

COLOUR: Ivory lace over Latte satin.

FASTENING: Lace up with fitted bodice. (Has a thick "bra clasp"-style adjustable bandeau inside)

SIZE: Leah S Designs label is a size 8; Would fit regular size 8 - 10 due to adjustable style of the dress.

CLEANING: Has not been dry cleaned. Priced accordingly so that you can yourself if you wish.
Trims are clean (see photo).
There is a very small faint stain on the embroidery layer on back right side of the dress (see photo and more photo’s available on request). It actually took me a LONG time to find the stain, even when I knew it was there, that's how minor it is. But I wanted to be honest and show it (EVEN THOUGH MY FRIENDS and FAMILY SAID IT WAS MINOR ENOUGH NOT TO MENTION)! ***Welcome to inspect***

CONDITION: Dress is otherwise in excellent as new condition. Worn only for 5 hours.

ALTERATIONS: Custom alterations made by Leah S Designs – the bottom hem was taken up slightly and a 3 point bustle has been added to hook up the long train for the reception. This could be altered to a different style bustle if you preferred. The only picture I could find of the train up in the bustle was the night time one in the harsher flash lighting - so it doesn't quite have the same effect as to how it actually looked.
