A wonderful wedding dress from Caroline Castigliano, bought from the Caroline Castigliano shop in London in September 2011. The dress is called Samara and has several layers of the lightest silk and chiffon. Caroline Castigliano only uses the most exquisite fabrics.

The dress has a deep v-neck front, slim-fitting skirt, an open back with fabulous cross-over straps, and the skirt falls to a short train - it sits beautifully. The dress is a standard size 10. There is a small swarovski clasp at the back where the straps cross over.

This is such a beautiful dress, I felt amazing wearing it - and my husband LOVED it.

There is a very clever loop and button under the dress so that it lifts the train of the floor for dancing. This dress has been cleaned by a specialist wedding dress cleaner (recommended by the designer) and comes in a large acid free box for storing.

The dress fits a bride of 5' 6 tall (without shoes), bust 32D and was worn with shoes with a 3 inch heel). Some very slight damage (caused by the gravel path) to the under train which touches the floor but this is completely hidden.

Although it's been worn once, the dress is in excellent condition! If you would like to come and try the dress on I'm happy to arrange this - I live in Berkshire.
