Brand new, store dry-cleaned timeless classic catwalk frontliner by one of Britain's finest luxury couture bridal designers.

My husband has always been one of a kind: suave, sophisticated, and so loving! I wanted a dress that would make his jaw drop, and I wanted to be dressed by one of the finest British independent bridal designers.

I was so surprised when I tried dresses on to find so many of them frumpy, and - in my mother's words - something she might have worn. On the flipside, too many felt forgettable or like they'd date pretty quickly.

Ritva Westenius dresses were different. Having been at the forefront of bridal luxury couture since 1977, her background behind the scenes of the famous Parisienne couture houses was evident in her elegant styles and ultra-flattering cuts. Olympia is Ritva Westenius' catwalk frontliner from her timeless classic collection.I had never seen a dress like it, and I still haven't!

Organza over duchesse satin with satin bands and a flattering cut around the collar bone, it gives me a graceful hourglass shape, and I have no idea how (I'm more flat all the way down)...

I visited her beautiful shop in Connaught Village, London, with my sister, and she cried when I walked out of the dressing room. Just like with my husband, I knew it was something special!

I would love for Olympia to make a bride as happy as she has made me! She is 100% brand new (professionally dry-cleaned before I picked her up from the shop), luxury couture, handmade, and oh so lovely.

Ritva's luxury dresses sell for thousands (to give you an idea of the savings on this resale). Good luck with the wedding planning, and I'm more than happy to answer any questions. :)
