A white lace wedding dress with long sleeves and an open back, finishing in a trailing skirt. The lace is worked over a polyester and cotton base, and the waist sits at its natural height.

This suits brides who want covered arms at the front and an open back behind, a sheer-lace bridal gown with a train, or a gown that reads formal enough for an evening ceremony. It runs XS to 3XL in letter sizes, which is easier to order from than a US number chart if you are buying without a fitting.

The details

• Backless lace wedding dress in white
• 96% polyester, with cotton
• Long sleeves
• Open back
• Trailing skirt
• Natural waist
• Sizes XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL

Choosing a size

These sizes run small, so take the larger of two if you fall between them. An open back changes how the dress is supported, so pay particular attention to the bust measurement rather than relying on your usual size. Allow 2-3cm either way.

Care

Send this for a specialist clean rather than washing it at home — a trailing hem picks up more than you would expect on the day. Store it hanging on a padded hanger and steam the skirt rather than ironing the lace.
