Romantic Italian "Bouquet" embroidery on Chantilly strapless mermaid with lace and tulle skirt. There are Swarovski crystals in the embroidery so when the light hits the gown it sparkles in a sophisticated, magical way.
Purchased at a trunk show at Alexia's boutique in Raleigh, NC, where I was actually fitted by Liancarlo's husband - it was an amazing experience. I immediately fell in love with how truly romantic the gown was and how it gave me a figure I normally wouldn't have (a HUGE win for a bride).
We took in the waist & the bust (I was a 34D/36C at the time) and raised the hem a few inches. The boning was so high quality that I never had to pull the dress up, it kept me perky the whole day all on its own. I'm 5/'5 and wore 3-inch heels - the gown was the perfect length to prevent any tripping/dragging.
The only visible 'wear' is at the hemline where the dress touched the ground as we took photos. I've been assured it can be easily cleaned.
