Martina Liana 2062 is a beautifully clean princess cut A-line wedding dress designed to flatter so many different body shapes. This gown features a straight-across neckline with princess panel seams that run from the top of the bodice all the way down through the skirt, flaring softly to the hem. Because there is no seam at the waist, the dress creates one long, uninterrupted line through the body, giving a beautifully lengthening and shaping effect.
One of the most special details of this gown is the cornelly work throughout the design.
Cornelly work is a raised, corded embroidery technique that gives the gown texture, detail and a very elegant finish. When I studied fashion at TAFE, we used to call this style of work “rat’s tail”, but in bridal it is known as cornelly work.Inside the gown, there is a lovely lace-up structure that gives support through the bodice, helping the straight neckline stay beautifully in place.This is one of those dresses that ticks so many boxes.
It suits a pear-shaped bride, an apple-shaped bride, and also a rectangular-shaped bride who wants to create more shape through the body. The princess cut panels help define and flatter without cutting across the waist.My sample is a size 12, and this gown also has a matching veil available.
