! The design is altered to be 'more flattering' to a size 18 bride, with the silk overskirts dropping full length so as to lengthen the look and not 'cut you in half!' Also the standard Fortuna 'fishtail' trains are replaced with a full skirted train, bustleable, and buttons all the way down the back. Excellent boning to give the most amazing waist and an enviable bust (and you can still breathe!). Just about everyone will comment on the gorgeous silhouette this dress will give you. There are spaghetti straps with bead detailing, the length of which can be altered easily with detachable bra-strap like fixers. The bust detail is hugely flattering, with beading along the bust line to match the straps. The dress has two 'bra' fixings on the inside to help secure you into the dress, and then a zip fastening and hook and eye at the top. The zip is then covered by proper button-up silk-covered buttons.

A beautiful gown in silk dupion and tulle. The bodice has a V neckline with beaded shoestring straps, and intricate beadwork at the centre of the front neckline. The silk dupion skirt is draped into a wrap-over feature, revealing layers of soft tulle scattered with sequins. At the back the silk drape is caught into a bustle from where long tails cascade to form the train.

This elegant wedding dress was personally designed and fitted by Suzanne Neville who added extra beading on the back of the straps to match the beautiful Swarovski Crystals on the front.
