About the Dress

Pronovias St Patrick Studio Kalania dress with illusion back and custom sleeves made from matching lace. Worn for wedding in summer of 2023.

Gorgeous statement sheer lace illusion back that blends with custom sleeves. Cathedral length stunning train made from three layers: nude underlay, fine lace, followed by detailed textured beaded lace on top with nude cups for bust. The material is so beautifully intricate, with a bit of elasticity which made it very comfortable to wear.

I loved my dress so much and felt amazing on my wedding day. I found nothing like it when I was searching for my wedding. I wanted to have my arms covered for the ceremony but to be able to dance the night away and raise my arms high for a ceilidh, and so paid for additional lace to have custom sleeves made that could be removed in the evening. A lot of time and attention was paid to getting a secure bustle for the length of train to enable me to be able to ceilidh dance and spin! The lace is so beautifully made and the additional custom sleeves really made this a unique dress.

Dry cleaned within days of the wedding and boxed. In near excellent condition - one small tear to a seam of nude underlining less than 1 inch in length, one half of a press stud missing on left shoulder. I had originally planned to keep the dress for sentimental reasons, hence the delayed listing, but it needs a second chance at life at another wedding!
