Tulip Chantilly lace mermaid gown with hand pieced circular flange train and mum garden hemline.
The mermaid gown is always one of my most popular silhouettes, because it brings together two things a bride always has on her mind for her wedding day: she wants to look sexy, and she wants to be unbelievably glamorous. In the first place, a well-sculpted shape can do the trick, and for show-stopping splendor, you really want a full, dramatic skirt.
Lillian is a quintessential mermaid gown with a sweetheart neckline, but with one important modification: the skirt flares out a bit higher than usual, right at the knee, so she can be worn by petite or taller brides alike. So you get that beautiful, completely seamless, sculpted body combined with just slightly more volume at the skirt — it’s an explosion of textures made all the more dramatic by the extreme contrast of the molded shape on top.
I find that this particular base is especially well-suited to the themes I explored in this collection — delicate lacework mixed with bold, bursting blossoms. The entire body of the gown is covered in the collection’s signature tulip and rose patterned Chantilly lace — so elegant in its simplicity, and very glamorous. I love the clean sophistication of all-over lace — with this kind of silhouette, the lace speaks for itself, so there’s no need for any additional embellishment.

Note from the seller:
My street size is 6 and it fit perfectly without any alternation. It flows beautifully along your body and complement your curves (especially at the hip!! My husband described as - "walked out of a movie" )
My bust size is 34B. If you wear a bigger cup, I think it would be perfect with this dress. But I didn't have a huge problem when I wore a pushup.
It has a corset bodice with boning, so no need to wear another layer to hold you in! And it also prevents from slipping down - important because it's a strapless dress.
If you have a shape like me - kind of lean on the upper body and shaply lower body, this will be very flattering. A lot of people of my shape tend to think they want to hide their butt and legs but please do show them off. This dress will make you look awesome, elegant yet bold.
I wore it only on the wedding day itself, for about 7-8 hours.
