Description:Beautiful Spanish designed and made Pronovias 2 piece gown. Very light and comfortable to wear. The dress was a UK size 14 and I had the bodice altered to a size 12. As it is a 2 piece, the skirt doesn't have to fit absolutely perfectly. I am 5'4” - dress can easily be shortened. There is a golden thread running through the bodice with some lace detail on the bodice and also on the top of the skirt. There is a loop at the back for the skirt to be gathered up for the evening. The dress cost $2,600. There is also a matching little bag made from the same material.

Description: This is a sensual, ivory (white silk) halter neck gown. A stunning dress, it features a deep neckline with a crystal broach and low cut back.
Pleating around the waist is extremely flattering and the silk falls beautifully.
The halter top is perfect for whatever bust size you may have as it has support that you will be comfortable with and confident about throughout your special day.
The most beautiful feature is the gorgeous train as it can clip up at the front, hidden under a pleat, giving the dress a beautiful new look for the evening and for photos.

Description: This Raylia Design dress called 'Jackie' is made of satin and chiffon. It has a beautiful diamante bodice, rooching to one side for a slimming effect, and a centre front split covered with a gorgeous chiffon with diamante decoration. The lacing at the back allows the dress to be adjusted on the day to fit the bride. The dress has not been altered from its original shape except for a slight change in length due to my height (5ft 8"). Also a halter neck tie has been added to the dress but can be easily removed to make it a strapless dress again. A beautiful dress, (only worn once) that is ideal for a girl of any shape.
