SEDUM by Ladybird

Sedum is held to the body as far as the knee, then let go into a flare. The neckline closes high at the throat and leaves the shoulders and arms bare, and the straps meet and fasten behind the neck. The lace carries the pattern, worked open so what is under it still reads. The hem runs out into a chapel train, the shorter of the two usual ones, and the back fastens with buttons down the spine, which is the side the ceremony sees.
