See the wedding dress that took a whole year to make!

The dress in making:
This dress - "with a traditional feeling, but using modern techniques," Ralph explained - required 3,900 hours of hand embroidery (162 days if you worked round the clock); 


40 different types of bead; and 


25 different types of Swarovski crystal. 


The underlayers are tulle, hand-printed with a metallic Chantilly-lace effect, to give depth without weight - drawing on the grandeur yet airiness of Listri's work.










This is simply....W.A.O.....
