Description

A: Long sleeve, empire waist wedding dress made from white satin. At the center-front of the bust is a section of white, floral lace applique that splits at the waist and runs down the skirt in two rows. At the canter-front of the waist is a small, white bow. Six white, fabric wrapped buttons run up the underside of each sleeve. 

B: Long, white satin train that gradually widens towards the bottom edge. The top edge is roughly ‘V’ shaped and has a series of snaps across it, allowing it to attach to “A”; below this edge are a series of pleats. On one side, there are a series of four white, mesh appliques in the shape of flowers.
