This is a David Fielden satin sheath gown (‘Pippa’/4022) with a low lace back and lace trimmed hem. The fabric is a substantial silk that feels incredibly luxurious. The back is quite flattering without being too showy. The dress is incredibly comfortable and easy to transport.

The ‘Pippa’ features a scoop neck and tank straps that frame the chest and neck; the neckline is draped slightly before the bodice gives way to a sleek, continuous silhouette. Just above the ankle, a band of lace joins the satin skirt, revealing the bride’s shoes, and the back of the dress ends in a sweep train.

The back of the dress is a showstopper and features a lace panel, complemented by tank straps which trail down the back like ribbons and are tied at the base of the back. The panel of lace has a scalloped edge and covers the back; these feminine details complement the silhouette of the dress and the luminous silk fabric.

The dress has been professionally dry cleaned and comes from a smoke free and pet free home.

The tag on the dress says UK10/US6, however the dress runs small. It is closer to a 2/4 street size. The dress has not been altered.

It is a gorgeous piece that looks stunning in photos but is also wonderfully comfortable and serious-dance-party-ready.
