Here is the April 2005 Dress of the Month's description as told by the bride:</font></P>

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><span class="copy">"My wedding dress was a gorgeous champagne A-line.  The bodice was a corset with jacquard detailing and some beading and embroidery at the top.  The neckline was strapless and heart-shaped, a little like an updated sweetheart neckline.<BR><BR>

The skirt was fairly full with a chapel train.  The entire dress had a lovely golden sheen, and the fit was flawless and flattering."</font></P>
