About the Dress

Layered lace wedding dress with plunging V-neckline from Essense of Australia. A high neckline with an organic-lace finish perfectly complements the plunging V-neckline of this bodice. Layers of cotton-style lace and French lace come together to create a soft, unique look that continues through the bodice and onto the skirt. Sheer cutouts adorn the sides of the gown, and extend into an open back. Bugle beadwork is placed throughout the gown to help create dimension. Large, lace motifs adorn the back of the skirt, which extends into a long train. The back of this layered lace wedding dress zips up beneath pearl buttons.

Alterations

Purchased size 14 as recommended from my measurements (usually wear size 8 top and size 10 bottom). Alterations done to adjust size of bodice (cups added - could be removed). Also added lace appliqué (ordered from Essence of Australia to match gown) to change the heart shape at front. Scope to remove the added lace appliqué to reveal heart shape again (or alternative pattern) if desired. Stitches could also be removed to return bodice to ‘size 14’.
