Fabric: Soft ivory cream tulle with a cream lining fabric in the bodice
 
Style: A bridal gown that could have been made for a ballerina as the tulle used reminds me of the fabric that a vintage tutu would have been made. 
 
Features: The skirts are made up of four layers of tightly gathered tulle, the bodice is fitted made of four shaped panels at the back and two at the front, the waistline is rushed at the side seams on the front panel and slightly dropped to emphasize the waistline it drops to a point at the back and front. The sleeves are sheer tulle with 12 rosebud style cover buttons and rouleau loops and finished in a point to echo the bodice. A layer of tulle is draped around the back and shoulders and gathered at the centre front with an original art deco diamanté brooch to make a very flattering shawl style collar.
 
Closure: There is a metal zip to the side 
 
Ideal to wear for: Bridal, Events
