Dress made by local Montreal, QC designer Melissa Gentile (www.melissagentile.com).
Fits a street-size 16-18.
Beautiful, free-flowing dress that was super comfortable. Lined satin with silk chiffon layer; silk belt. Sweetheart neckline with fine ruching. Back hidden zipper.
The "straps" were a nod to my mother's wedding dress which had swiss-dot sleeves. They are hand-appliqued lace on very light sheer fabric. The dress is very well constructed (fit my 38D bust) and the straps are very much optional. They are hand-stitched in so can be easily removed for a beautiful strapless look or replaced with something of your own design.
