The Francis gown features a sophisticated, unique shape, with delicate detailing. Highlighting the décolletage perfectly, the Francis has a fitted, stretch French lace body, with a flattering V-front neckline and built in cups for support. The deep, open V back is accentuated with a fine, satin ribbon. The main feature of this exquisite gown is the stretch French lace sleeves, with optional soft tulle bell-ends, trimmed with hand appliquéd lace motifs. Our Francis has a lavish skirt, featuring contoured seams and a front split, which shows just the right amount of leg.
This dress features the original lace (before August 2016), which I prefer so much more. Absolutely stunning.
The dress did have two very tiny holes after being worn, I have sewn these up and you would never be able to tell. They are at the bottom of the dress on the back. The dress also has a small stain on the left hand side, not visible from the back or the front. I have included pictures to show.
The dress is an XS and I am a 5'4", and it was just slightly to long in the front where the slit is, I think it would be perfect for a 5'5" or 5'6" with a 2 inch heel.
I bought the dress used but NEW from another bride who decided the dress was not for her. The dress comes in the origininal bag and box (the box is slightly worn).
