I found this dress during a trip in Italy just few months prior to my wedding. The moment I saw it I knew it was my dream dress. The gown princess dress like model, the stunning fabric, and the elegant embroidery all contributed to making it the perfect dress I was looking for. Since I dress modestly, I have asked a designer to create for me bolero that matches it which can be attached/detached from the dress, which is strapless (as seen on the model picture). My wedding was half mixed and half ladies only. So by doing to, I was able to wear the additional covering piece at ease during the wedding. I am selling this dress with the veil and bolero.
