Carolina Herrera

Dress, hand-made lace shrug, tiara and veil.
Very similar in style to Kate Middleton's dress - vintage lace, classic style - handmade Chantilly French lace shrug and strapless A-line dress, includes veil and tiara.

This dress is very ashionable as it is very similar to Kate Middleton's style. It is a classic style - strapless with a beautiful lace overlay, fitted at the waist with a slight kick out at the bottom and a bit of a train.

It is an Ella Johansson design (Swedish) and I bought it in London. I had the vintage Chantilly lace shrug hand made by acclaimed designer Caroline Herrerra. It really made a beautiful ensemble when they were put together but at the end of the night for dancing I was able to remove the shrug and hitch up the bottom of the train on the dress to an attached button.

I am also including my veil which is full length with a shorter piece to have over your face. It has diamantes sprinkled over it. I am including it for free as it has a slight tear at the bottom which can easily be removed and re-hemmed. It cost me £300. I have not added anything to the cost for the veil so will not reduce the price for anyone who does not wish to take it. The dress cost me £1800 and the jacket cost me £1250. I am also including my tiara which is a headband with freshwater pearls and crystals wrapped in gold thread strands. This cost me £200.

The dress is a size 12 but I had it taken in slightly on the waist so it might be more of a 10/12 now. It is boned and has a zip up back. The bottom of the dress is scalloped. It was an easy and comfortable dress to wear and I'm very sad to sell it but only have little boys so I don't need to keep it. the detailing on both the dress and the shrug are exquisite and everyone thought the dress had a real vintage, classic look.

I had the happiest day of my life wearing this beautiful dress and I hope you can too!
