This is hands down one of the best rose prints I've seen. Dusky pink huge blooming roses with a soft almost tromp l'oeil effect of dewdrop wetness. It's stunning, so romantic, with just the perfect touch of artistic surrealism. The dress is a strappy mermaid style with a huge full circle sweep ruffled tier to the hem. Bodice has thin shoulder strap which hook on inside the bust which gives the option to wear it strapless, bodice is lightly boned for structure. Draped asymmetric design to the bustline with big sculptural sash detail to one side which cleverly buttons on the the shoulder strap with a popper, and when worn with the bolero to the side of the neck on the bolero. Waist is seamed and the skirt has a softly fitted a-line design to just above the knee and a big ruffley mermaid hem with lavish amounts of fabric. Side metal zip to fasten. Comes with matching cropped short sleeved bolero jacket with small covered ball buttons to the chest and a deep scooped collarless neckline. Label is Chafil. Not sure of fabric content, but slightly rustly formal fabric, feels a bit like grosgrain or taffeta.
Dress is pictured with a petticoat which is not included in the sale.
