CLAIRE PETTIBONE KRISTENE WEDDING DRESS
The dress that started it all. The KRISTENE haute couture wedding dress was the first gown ever designed by Claire. This sheer back Victorian wedding gown is so flattering on so many figures, it's no wonder it has stood the test of time. The sweetheart neckline, cap sleeves, rich Guipure dangles which shimmy and dance along your body as heart-shaped embellishments glide down from the sheer illusion back into the heart shaped train are the details that will make you swoon.
Purchased at Kleinfelds Bridal. This dress was professionally cleaned, packaged and stored. However, a number of small discolorations have appeared on the hem of the lace. The cleaners in my area have stated these could be removed. I decided to allow the next owner to decide for herself how she would like this handled.
