An A-line bridal gown in white lace, cut off the shoulder, with lace appliques worked over the body. The A-line skirt falls away from the waist rather than gripping the hip, which is why it stays one of the easier bridal shapes to wear.

This is the dress to look at if you want an off-the-shoulder bridal gown, an applique lace gown for a church or garden ceremony, or a princess-style silhouette that does not need shapewear underneath. Sizes are given in US numbers with a rough S-XL equivalent, so you can cross-check against what you normally wear.

Choosing a size

Use the US-to-letter guide above rather than guessing from the number alone. Allow 2-3cm either way, since the measurements are taken by hand. If you fall between two sizes, take the larger one — an off-the-shoulder bodice is easier to take in than to let out.

Care

Applique lace catches easily, so we would send this for a specialist clean rather than washing it at home. Keep it on a padded hanger, and press only through a cloth on a cool setting.
