DESCRIPTION:
A shirred skirt and bodice of pure silk tulle over silk satin is an exquisite exploration of textures from Catherine Deane. Strands of tiny pearls are artfully draped across the back, cap sleeves, and at the décolletage, forming luminous garlands that may be all the accessories you’ll need. Back zip with silk covered buttons. Attached belt. Professionally clean. Imported.
This silhouette is fitted through the bodice. For best fit, size to the curvier of your bust and waist measurements.
Can be shortened; using an experienced bridal tailor is recommended

French silk tulle and pearl beads
Silk satin lining
A Catherine Deane original, exclusive to BHLDN
***** MY STORY ****
This is a discontinued Catherine DeaneOrtensia Gown size 2 which was exclusive via BHLDN. I purchased it online for my wedding, but never ended up wearing it. Just tried it on at home. It was just a bit too big for me, as I am short (5’1 & 95 pounds). This would fit best for a girl who is 5’4 or above. I was just too petite for it. The girl I bought the dress from did wear the dress once for a photo shoot. So the dress has never really been worn out! If it was a perfect fit, I would have worn it to my wedding, as It is like New – seriously. It has it’s original tag and BHLDN garment bag. It is a beautiful dress for a girl who is looking for a beautiful vintage look. The belt is is so beautiful and the back beading alone is worth thousands of dollars along with the buttons. Pictures do not do it justice. But you can see it in the pics and decide for yourself :)
