Heart Stealer by Mary’s Bridal is one of those gowns that barely makes it onto the rail before someone falls for it — and it’s easy to see why. Crisp pure white and beautifully balanced this is romance with confidence.

The lace placement makes a sweetheart silhouette beneath over an illusion panel, rising to a round neckline edged with diamantes and cut away shoulders.  There is bead and crystal detailing across the lace. The same illusion-and-lace effect continues at the back, where unlined lace reveals its craftsmanship in full.

A slim waistband defines the waist and ties into a neat bow at the centre back, flowing into a voluminous yet very lightweight organza skirt and train that move effortlessly - it's a train that behaves. A sample gown in excellent condition, with only a couple of tiny missing diamantes at the back neckline — barely noticeable and easily forgiven given how beautifully this dress wears.
