The Dress

New & Never Worn Emme-waisted Ivory dress (with 40 cm train) purchased online from Grace Loves Lace. An amazing dress that looks stunning and feels so comfortable and light to wear.

I paid AUS$1094.50 (approx. CAD$ 1071) for this dress.

I decided to go with a different dress (strapless) after I purchased this so it has been sitting in my wardrobe for the past 2 years (what a shame).

Description from Grace Loves Lace website:
"A classic Grace loves lace dress, our Emme-waisted is from our original collection and still a best-seller. Featuring a beautiful sophisticated stretch lace bodice with delicate French eyelash lace capped sleeves and a low scooped back edged with rosettes. Fitted to the waist to promote a feminine silhouette that can be accentuated with our Ricci or Rock n Roll belt. Alternatively add our Indi or Dotti skirts. The classic silk chiffon skirt falls naturally from the waist with the option of a romantic train. Emme-waisted is the perfect dress for the bride wanting an easy-to-wear and comfortable dress that is flattering on all body shapes and sizes. A timeless design combining romance and femininity with classic beauty, you can’t go wrong with Emme-waisted. Easy to wear, Emme-waisted slips over the head and stretches down the body without zips or buttons. Made from beautifully soft Ivory stretch French lace and silk chiffon. For French lace lovers, this lace is one of our favourites and features on many of our key dresses. It has a high stretch component with a beautiful rose design and pearly finish.
