The Princess Bride is what we call this wedding dress.  It is the traditional heavily beaded bodice with tulle skirt and chapel length train.  This one was made for Jenn for her beach wedding (don’t ever do this!  The tulle will pick up every twig and piece of dried grass within yards!)  . 

A wired sleeve cap gave an almost fairy wing-like appearance to the top of the sleeves.  Beaded lace cuffs were added to the sheer sleeves to match the lace on the bodice.

A dear friend did all the hand beading on the lovely lace bodice front. A similar beaded edge lace was added to the bodice bottom edge.  The back closing features an invisible zipper covered with a line of pearl buttons.  The bodice is boned and fits and supports like a corset.

The separate skirt is attached to a wide elastic band that is hooked in the back for ease in dressing and comfort for the bride.  The satin train is pleated onto this elastic band to reduce bulk under the bodice.  The train also has a beaded lace along the entire edge.  The tulle skirt has a posh lining underneath.

This dress is not for sale.  It will not be reproduced exactly.  However, if you would like to have a dress that is somewhat like it in design or using design elements similar to it, please feel free to contact us to discuss it.  We will be happy to consider your ideas for the Princess Bride gown of your dreams.
