The Dress

Couture in style, Italian lace, extended train to create the wow factor and detachable lace straps. The body of the dress is size UK 8, cup size UK 10. Cups on the dress have a small amount of padding to keep the shape. Could be changed to a thicker padding cup easily.

Considering the dress looks very fitted, it’s extremely comfortable and light.

Extras added to the dress as follows:

- Matching off the shoulder lace straps. Detachable and can be taken on and off in a matter of seconds. Held on with secret hooks and eyes. Straps can be worn up on the shoulder, down off the shoulder or off entirely.

-Extra £700 paid for the bottom lace to be extended at the front and extended to create a much bigger & more uniform lace train out at the back. This is the most stunning Italian lace, exceptional detailing to it and a real wow factor in pictures.

-Two small discrete silk loops added to the train so you can bustle it up for the evening.

-A silk loop added underneath the train so you can hold the train up with ease when walking.

All above alterations done by the Riki Dalal in-house seamstress at the flagship Central London store where the dress was purchased from so everything was done to the highest quality.

Dry cleaned by the number one wedding dress specialist cleaners in the UK - Terrington Burchett. The dress is kept in a wedding safe preservation box which you will keep at no extra cost.

There are two small and faint markings on the bottom end of the lace train which can only be spotted close up. The price is therefore reflective of this otherwise the dress remains in extremely good condition and has been locked after with extreme care.

- MONA by Riki Dalal is the stunning reinvention of a classic strapless mermaid gown. The top is built upon a strapless bone corset with symmetrically placed lace against an illusion background for a sense of sheerness. MONA’s mermaid skirt opens up with many layers of tulles and fine Italian lace. The fitted silhouette paired with feminine soft gives a delicate yet sexy appeal.

The matching Cathedral can be purchased as extra at a discounted rate with the dress (RRP £600). This is the stunning matching Plain Ivory Cathedral Veil by Riki Dalal, 3.25 metre in length and is the perfect length and style to compliment the silhouette & train to this dress. In perfect condition.

Feel free to ask me any questions or for more pictures. Happy for any serious buyers to come to my home in Buckinghamshire HP22 or Oxfordshire OX18 to try on the dress in person before purchasing.
