Diana is one of Enzoani’s most popular designs. It is being sold together with its even more popular, glamorous Feather Gray, handmade belt. As much as I love the belt, it did not fit with the overall feel of my wedding, so the belt has never been worn. Diana has a mermaid silhouette with a deep sweetheart neckline. There are 21 beautiful silk covered buttons and loops going down the back. I had a lace bolero made for our church ceremony to cover my shoulders (not for sale). I had planned to take the bolero off and wear the delicate lace straps that are one of the highlights of Diana for our reception. Days before however, I decided I wanted to go strapless for our reception- on the expert advice on my seamstress, I left the straps attached and just tucked them in and held them with dress tape. It was the exact look I wanted and the straps are still attached should the future owner want to wear them. There is an internal corset at the waist that keeps the dress snug and secure. The cathedral length train is stunning and what sold me on Diana.
Minimal alterations have been done to Diana. The length and tulle underlay were not altered. A quarter-inch was taken in on each side of the waist and a half-inch was taken in on each side of the hips of the dress. I lost a bit of weight prior to the wedding but no significant changes were needed. Cups have been sewn into the bust for support (does not add size), these are easily removable. The cathedral length train can be bustled in three layers under the lace overlay. My seamstress did an amazing job securing the bustle with over 18 small ties and loops to secure the train for dancing up a storm at our reception.
This dress is romantic and elegant, timeless yet modern, sexy but appropriate. I received so many gracious compliments. Words cannot explain how much joy I felt wearing this dress. Instead of boxing up that happiness and storing Diana in a box, I want to pass it on to another blessed woman. I am happy to answer any questions regarding the dress, send additional photos, and negotiate price.
