I have finally, finally found a beautiful dress, but at a disreputable shop, and haven't seen anything like it anywhere else.
I finally figured out it was a Mori Lee from the RN, BUT can't find the design number. Can you help?
It's a unique Mori Lee, from what I've seen. The dress is a sleeveless A-line in light ivory (looks white, but it's not.) The bodice has beautiful white and red embroidered flowers (the red flowers have a little bit of white detail from the middle, and the white flowers with a bit of red from the center), and red and white leaves, all outlined with silver thread, and using silver bugle beads and a couple of other kinds of tiny, pearl-looking beads.
The bottom of the bodice forms a "^" design with a red sash, with the embroidered flowers and bead work from the top of bodice, and the skirt has the same embroidered white/red flowers/leaves scattered along the bottom. The top of the bodice is gently U-curved--not a sweetheart neckline, but not straight across, either, and the top of it has a thin band of red fabric, followed directly underneath by delicate beadwork.
The back is an ivory lace-up with the bodice detail from the front extended to the back, down to the top of the skirt. The red sash from in the front is extended to the edges of the train, and the middle of the train is ivory. The red and ivory sections had the embroidery and beading detail from the front. Friggin' gorgeous.
The most distinctive features are the ^-shaped bodice sash, the embroidered red and white flowers edged with silver thread, and the bodice top's red trim.
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated--I've scoured the Mori Lee site, three different eBay stores (UK, US, Canada), countless bridal shops' websites, Google images, Craig's List, Flickr, and no luck.
