I knew this dress was the one because of how soft it was to the touch and how easy it was to move in even though it was a gorgeous form-fitting sheath silhouette. I wanted a dress that was structured enough to enhance my curves but that would let me feel my husband's hands on my waist as we danced. This dress skimmed my skin in the best way so that I didn't even need to wear shape-wear. And my husband loved it. :-)
Truly, though, the illusion lace neckline and sheer lace back was what ultimately sold it for me -- so ethereal and romantic, as if I'd stepped out of a secret garden dream.
The trailing floral design of the lace perfectly complimented our wedding's backyard garden setting. And I was completely smitten with the back detail of the satin buttons cascading all the way to the tip of the train. This dress was the perfect combination of exquisite detail and softly sumptuous texture that photographed beautifully. I would love to know that this dress could make someone else's day as special and at ease as it made mine!
