The Dress

Laudae Bridal based in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Florence Gown

A stylish puff-sleeved dress made of crepe and embroidered dot lace. For the chicest girl in every room. This dress is fashionable but fun, classic but statement-making. The Florence is created fully in a sleek but stretchy crepe, and accented by unique embroidered dot lace on the sleeves and within the peekaboo skirt. Princess seams on the bust and our modern skirt ensure a flattering and form-fitting silhouette all over. The lace puff sleeves are secured and adjustable with a thin grosgrain ribbon. The dress is lined in lightweight Italian stretch lining, and 2 layers of taupe mesh angle in at the back for a seamless open-back look. This one’s for you, trendsetter. ;)

Purchased from Amante Bridal in Warragul, Victoria. Taken in by a local dressmaker as I had my original fitting 10 weeks after giving birth to my daughter. Currently a street size 14. Professionally dry cleaned. Some marks at the bottom of the hem and a very small tear in the lace at the bottom.
