The Dress

This elegant couture bridal gown was created with very high-quality European fabrics (including the most gorgeous beaded lace I have ever seen.) It was both designed and handmade in Barcelona by YolanCris, a Spanish designer who regularly shows each Spring at Bridal Fashion Week. This designer is no longer available to purchase off the rack in Australia to my knowledge, and the gown has been altered from the original design, meaning it is one of a kind (details on alterations below).

The style is a beaded lace sheath with v-neck and long sleeves and mini train. The entire dress is sheer, but is worn with a cream slip dress underneath, giving the effect of sheer sleeves and a low back. The lace itself is a unique design consisting of a beautiful subtle floral with vertical lines running on top—the lengthening effect is perfect for petite brides. It is completely beaded and is an absolute steal for this level of detail.

Alterations: a braided waist belt was removed from the original design, buttons removed from sleeves, and a lace modesty piece removed to create a v-neckline. (I still have the lace modesty piece and braided belt which can be added back if you so wish.) I can provide images of the original design also.
