The Dress

Chantilly lace and wispy tulle combine in this romantic and ethereal gown from the Monique Lhuillier Bliss range.

The cut is to die for, hugging you in all the right places before breaking below the thighs into a graceful godet-pleated skirt with sweep train. A plunging illusion V-neckline and low-cut back complete the breathtaking look.

Probably one of the most beautiful things about this dress is the colour. The Chantilly lace really stands out against the latte slip, giving this gorgeous gown a uniquely modern feel.

Not too much was taken off the length as I am 179 tall in heels so there’s plenty of room to move. Cups were added to the dress as was a very pretty bustle so you can dance. All alternations were done by David Jones bridal to the highest of standards.

This dress in unlike any other. The details, the quality and the position of the lace pattern is just jaw dropping. Trust me... I tried on over 50 and I was obsessed with this one. I purchased it from David Jones Bridal in the Sydney city store and it took over 6 months to arrive from Monique Lhuillier for my late February wedding. I still have the tags if needed.

This dress has been cleaned and is in perfect condition. No marks or stains. No tears or rips in the tulle or lace.
