This is romantic, ethereal dress by the French designer Elise Hameau. It is the Clementine model from her permanent collection, which is constructed of silk crepe and Calais lace, silk pongee and viscose lining. It has an illusion/lace neckline up to the collar bone, but the actual lining is a sweetheart cut lower down the chest. The lace top portion sits loosely in the front, while the unlined lace v-shape in the back lays perfectly flat against your skin. This dress cinches at the waist with a cilk crepe band that lusciously drapes your hips and falls into an A-line. It has beautiful detailed buttoning down the deep V laced back. The buttons are decorative in this dress, as a professional seamstress added in a zipper with a hook underneath the buttons to make it more secure during dancing. This is a very comfortable dress that has an effortless, classic, but non-traditional beauty.
The dress was professionally dry cleaned at an eco-friendly dry cleaners in Los Angeles that specializes in wedding dress cleaning and preservation. Please feel free to email me with any questions!
