A beautiful Hera Couture gown with detachable sleeves, and additional custom made soft tulle embodied sleeves (two choices of sleeves as pictured). These second sleeves are embroiled with "To have and to Hold" "To love and to cherish" facing outwards in white stitch. Worn shortly for alterations and once for wedding day, then never again. Dry Cleaned, nil damage, excellent condition. Pick up Stafford (Brisbane) or postage at buyers expense. Stunning dress which is the perfect mixture between modern, fun, and traditionally elegant. Incredible comfortable for all day wear, dancing, eating and sitting, deep pockets in the skirt.
