This is a couture version of Amaline Vitale's Nadeen amazing lace gown and is part of her current range. This dress is made from a heavy italian lace, has cap sleeve detail, v-neck and back, and all the seams are bound in velvet ribbon. My version is fully corseted, with a larger train. I am a a size 12 with a B cup bust (I also had extra padding sewn into the bust so I didn't have to wear a bra). I am 165cm tall, and wore an 8-9cm heel on my wedding day.

I can't tell you how wonderful I felt in this dress, and I can't tell you how many people stopped me in the Melbourne streets and lane ways as we were taking our photos, to tell me my dress was beautiful.

I added a crystal, art deco style brooch to the centre front waist (this is just hand stitched on), and I am happy to leave this on.

My dress was dry-cleaned the week after the wedding (wedding date was 22 March 2014), and it is in perfect condition. The train of the dress has a hand loop, or it can be bustled underneath. It also comes in its original Amaline Vitale dress bag.

If you have any questions, or would like to see the dress or try it on please don't hesitate to ask. I would love someone else to be able to wear this amazing dress on their wedding day.
