This is an elegant candlelight white wedding gown - Size 8. This gown was purchased in the late 1990s, but the wedding was cancelled and the gown was never worn. The gown has been in storage since then.
The designer is unknown, however the label reads RN 82673 which is registered to Mon Cheri Bridals, Inc. The tag is no longer attached to the string (however the tag's string is still attached to the sleeve). The dress is in excellent new condition.
This gown has a sweetheart neckline and a graceful v-back. The bodice is enhanced with lace appliqué, beads, and clear sequins, and has a Basque waist. It features fabric covered buttons: 3 buttons at the top of the zipper, and 7 at each sleeve cuff. The Juliet-style sleeves have gathered fabric over the shoulder followed by sheer lace detailed with beaded and sequined lace that extends to the wrist. The lovely bow in the back is attached with several stitches (and held in place on the side opposite the zipper with a clear plastic snap). The bow can be easily removed if desired. There are two bustle loops along the seam in the back of the skirt.
