Large sculptural florals frame the neckline with panels of handmade filet lace insertion lace trailing down the length of the jacket, a unique detail that adds wonderful texture. Voluminous angel sleeves drape around the arms and shoulders for an elegant, relaxed look. This exquisite example would wear beautifully as part of an unforgettable and one of a kind bridal ensemble.
