The strapless neckline of the dress, is set off by a soft sweetheart neckline, and a fitted and boned bodice. The cinched in waistline, which draws in internally with a faille waistband and hook and eye, sets off the mesmerising near full circle cut of the skirt, which is embellished with the most magical beaded and silk velvet accented flowers, creating a floral scape that only your imagination could create. The dress is fully lined in silk taffeta, and has been photographed here with a medium petticoat for added volume, this is not included within the listing.
