About the Dress

This dress was the perfect romantic style dress for my wedding. I loved how it hugged my curves, like it was made for my body, it was very figure flattering and made me feel pretty and sexy. My usual dress size at the time was a 12. The lace detail is stunning. I loved the detail on the neckline and how it accented my chest.
I did wear spanx underneath the dress, and a backless bra that stuck onto my chest.

The dress was professionally dry-cleaned (using only organic solvents) and preserved by J Scheer & Co (jscheer.com) in New York (for $595). It has been stored in an acid-free box and only touched with archival gloves.

From Claire Pettibone:
Simply stunning bias cut cotton lace and floral lace bodice with a sweetheart neckline hug your every curve. And when you see that illusion tulle back with lace yoke and satin covered buttons leading down to a graceful sweep train…wow!
