Instead of an uninspired scoop neck, this dress is certainly prettied up with its bateau or portrait style neckline that curves around the shoulders. The beaded bodice is simple and stylish with a lace-up back. Whilst we can’t see the full skirt, it’s easy to imagine what it is like – a full, floor length and A-line style complemented with a chapel length train.

Available in metallic, ivory, white and gold from San Patrick
