This dress is, simply put, sublime and ethereal! Everytime I wear it I feel as if I'm a fairy floating in her celestial gown. This is an elegant wedding dress from the Yolan Cris 2015 Couture Collection. If you are looking for a wedding dress that is unique, with a vintage flair that evokes the Great Gatsby decadent chic era, this is the one for you!
I bought this ethereal dress from Kleinfelds at The Bay, Toronto. It fits a US size 00 - 6 because as you can see I wore it twice (once before and during my pregnancy). I was a size US00 pre pregnancy and now a US size 6 during pregnancy when I wore it. My measurements pre pregnancy are Bust 32, waist 25, hips 32.5. My measurements during pregnancy when I wore this dress is bust 33.5, waist 28, hips 37. My seamstress had hidden the fabric pre-pregnancy so when I got pregnant all she had to do was let the dress out and it still fit like a dream! I am 5'7" tall and wore 3 inch heels with this dress.
This dress comes with a deep inner V-neck in the front peeking through an illusion lace, sequined and adorned with exquisite beading. As you can see from the photos, the inner layers hug your body and hips with a fit-and-flare silhouette showing off your curves. Overlaid is a delicate soft tulle and chantilly lace overlay stitched carefully over the inner layers of the dress to give a sheer and gossamer illusion of an A-line silhouette. So you basically have the best of both worlds in terms of two different kinds of silhouettes in one dress!
I am IN LOVE with this dress and already planning of various black tie and white tie events where I can wear this dress again. Happy to let it go to a bride who sees how special this dress is!
