A description from the Pallas Couture website: "...embracing a philosophy founded on original design, fine technique and true luxury, Pallas Couture seeks a cohesive balance between classical couture, impeccable tailoring and modern sophistication, mastering in faultless gowns that showcase pristine lines and shapes dramatized by hand-appliquéd French lace and beading." A perfect description of this beautiful gown.
This hand-made gown is sold only at select stores in the US; as such, this gown is nearly one-of-a-kind and will undoubtably leave your guests in awe. The appliqué consists of subtle yet beautiful flowers and an intricate bead detail. The mermaid silhouette is immensely flattering for the bold and beautiful bride. Just enough illusion fabric provides a controlled reveal, so that you reveal what you feel comfortable with. The center back consists of a gorgeous button detail from waist to mid hip, tastefully drawing your gaze to the lower skirt's flowing tulle train that will make your grand entrance a beautiful memory for life. This gown bustles beautifully in the center low back allowing you to dance the night away without a care in the world!
I am 5'4 and wore 3.5 inch shoes. The gown is in good condition and worn only once during an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. It will benefit from professional cleaning and minor repairs when you have it altered. These repairs include a few loose bustle buttons, appliqué flowers, and beads- see pictures for details.
