Grace Loves Lace, Loren Tulle

I fell in love with this dress the moment I first saw it. The exquisite lace bodice, sheer neckline and tulle straps with the option of a delicate train are some of the irresistible details on offer. I took the plunge and ordered the dress made to my measurements from Grace Loves Lace in Australia (graceloveslace.com.au). I paid R14500 for the dress (R10500 retail, R700 courier, and R3300 customs).

Details: The dress was worn once and cleaned, and is in mint condition. It would suit a small busted bride with similar measurements to my own (email me for details - I'm SA size 8 or 10), although it is made of French stretch lace, thus there is some play in the fitting of the bodice.

Our iconic Loren dress with the tulle skirt option is perfect for the bohemian princesses. Featuring an invisible mesh neckline and stunning stretch French lace bodice with hand cut appliquéd lace that draws attention to your décolletage. The sheer lace back provides a stunning feature that is highlighted by the two tulle wraps that fall from the back of the straps and criss cross to tie around the waist line. Alternatively you can leave them loose to create a train and wear our satin ribbon or Ricci belt at the waist line. Our soft Italian tulle skirt comes to life with movement providing a dreamy soft glow. Our Loren dress is such a beautiful mix of detail, texture and chic minimalism and looks incredible on. A timeless dress for the bride looking for something unique with contemporary sophistication.
