I was shopping last minute (of course) at a boutique in San Diego and found this gorgeous chantilly lace dress that fit me OFF THE RACK! Talk about mean to be! :) I bought the sample (so pristine it didn't even need a spot clean!) and used it in my wedding!
The dress is paloma blanca. It is an absolutely gorgeous lace on top of an off white/ champagne fabric that really makes the details in the lace stand out. But the lace detailing is still dense enough that the dress looks white from far away. It's strapless with a pleated chest, sweatheart neckline, ribbon and bow at the natural waist. The skirt is fit and flare to just about mid hips. It felt like a normal dress to walk around or sit in or dance in. The skirt doesn't have a lot off toole or anything to make it huge (just 2 layers of filler as far as I can tell) and it has a sweep train.
