House of Savin, Bella Pastelle

About the dress:

This is a A-line silhouette (bodice fitted, skirt gradually flaring from the waist down) with a fairly full skirt (lots of fun to swish around!)

The bodice features a modified sweetheart neckline and spaghetti straps.

It has a low back with a zip and bridal buttons.

The soft ivory tulle has an Italian silk lining, and features one-of-a-kind hand-painted leaf and flowers in delicate pastel green hue.

The leaves and flowers are painted with a blend consisting of acrylic & latex, specially designed to create a natural & gentle stretch. This allows you to breathe and move without causing any cracking or flaking to the paint.

How it feels to wear it(!):

As soon as I put this dress on, I knew it was the one.

It made me feel elegant, and full of love, and holds a special place in my heart. I'd never known what type of dress I wanted, wasn't a little girl who planned that wedding, so didn't think I'd get that "this is it" feeling. But I felt that magic, as soon as I slipped this on.

The Italian silk is soft to the touch, and kept me cool on a beautifully hot August bank holiday.

The intricate details are stunning, and it felt like it was crafted with genuine love.

My nephew and niece were in awe of it, and despite the fact that I lost none of the weight I had wanted, this dress made me not care a single bloomin' moment.

It is a dress that will dazzle many wedding venues, whether it's an intimate garden ceremony or a city shin-dig.

I have, in the same way as the crafter I believe, lovingly, cared for it.

But it's time for it to continue it's story, spread some magic and start a new chapter, with a new bride, who will feel that magic too.
