This was the most perfect dress for my black tie wedding in Chicago. The Dari gown is from the Spring 2011 line and is made of rare, authentic alencon lace which is delicately tiered into a soft trumpet at the base. It is a modified A-line and suits both straight and curvacious shapes as the intricate beading around the waist highlights the contrast between the bust and the hips. ( The belt is unattached at the moment but will come with the dress). This dress is breathtaking in person and extremely photogenic. The dress has been professionally dry cleaned and is in perfect condition. I have never looked nor felt more beautiful than in this dress on my wedding day. Parting with it is incredibly difficult. I know, however, it will make someone else feel beautiful on their wedding day. Please feel free to e mail questions.
