The Dress

The dress that started it all, Kristene was the first wedding gown designed by Claire. This Victorian embroidered creation is so flattering and unique, it's no wonder it has stood the test of time. The sweetheart neckline, capped sleeves, rich Guipure dangles which shimmy and dance along your body as embellishments glide down from the sheer illusion back into the heart shaped train are the details that will make you swoon. May be ordered with the original illusion back, or plunging, low illusion back. Kristene is available as shown in Ivory with Pearl silk lining, and other silk lining options from our Couture Collection.
