The gown is Manual Mota for Pronovias and is absolutely stunning. I bought it at a sample sale at the London flagship store on Bond St. I have decided to not wear it after all because I want a gown with a bit more 'poof'. It is SO difficult to part with the gown though - it is truly a work of art.
As I said, the gown is a sample piece. It has not been dry cleaned since purchase and is slightly dirty on the bottom - nothing that can't be fixed with a cleaning. It is in excellent condition apart from a very small bit under the bust where the lace has come out of the seam (1.5 inches wide). Some of the small feathers along the neckline have fallen out and need to be replaced. This would be so easily fixed.
The gown is strapless but with optional spaghetti straps. It comes with a beautiful cap sleeve Bolero as well (as pictured).
