Olvi's Lace 1239

The Olvi's 1239 is an off-the-shoulder lace wedding dress with sleeves, cut in European stretch lace from collar to hem. A scalloped lace edge sits just off the shoulders and continues into short lace sleeves, framing a softly gathered sweetheart line through the bust. The bodice is ruched over the waist and hip so the stretch lace skims rather than compresses, then the skirt narrows through the thigh and releases into a fluid mermaid flare that finishes in a scalloped hem and a soft sweep train. The back is covered in the same unbroken lace with no exposed zipper, so the gown reads as one continuous piece of lace from every angle. Jan's carries it in Gardenia, a warm ivory that photographs soft rather than stark, in sizes 2 through 20 at $1,698. Because every all-lace Olvi's style is handmade to order, the same gown can be cut in any of the house lace colors - navy, forest green, blush, champagne, black - which is why it works equally as a non-traditional wedding dress, a mother of the bride or groom gown, and a black-tie wedding guest dress. Allow roughly six to eight weeks for a made-to-order gown, or shop what is already on the floor in Olvi's Lace, Non-Traditional Bridal, Lace, Best Selling Bridal Gowns and Bridal on a Budget.

Lace this fine is worth trying on before you commit, and you can do that in person at Jan's Boutique, 406 Marlton Pike E, Cherry Hill, NJ 08034 - call 856-428-8181 or book an appointment and we will have the 1239 pulled and steamed when you walk in. The store runs 13,000 square feet with 50 dressing rooms and more than 15,000 dresses on the floor, so you can compare this gown against other evening and cocktail, gala and day-to-evening looks in a single visit instead of ordering three sizes online and shipping two back. Jan's Boutique charges no sales tax on clothing, which on a $1,698 gown saves roughly what Pennsylvania, New York or Delaware shoppers would pay in tax alone, and on-site alterations handle the hem, the bust and the sleeve fit in house. We are about 20 minutes from Center City Philadelphia, 25 from Wilmington, and an easy drive from Princeton, the Jersey Shore and the Main Line, with free parking at the door.
