A weightless chiffon wedding dress cape that attaches to any dress at the shoulders. It has a beautiful cowl back and long train. A glamorous styling addition to a simple Charlie Brear wedding dress. Shown here styled with the Daphine wedding dress.
Another gorgeous, delicate lace jacket from Charlie Brear. This jacket is a wrap style that would style beautifully v-neck wedding dresses like Payton, Harwood or Fernley.
This delicate lace jacket with low v-neckline and v-back is the perfect styling addition to Charlie Brear’s plunge neck-line wedding dresses like Harwood or Haliton or with the cool Carson wedding jumpsuit.
These beautiful long lace balloon sleeves are the perfect styling addition to the simple, luxe crepe wedding dresses from the Charlie Brear collection. We love it with Haliton, as shown, but will also look fabulous with Payton and Torum.
This bias cut dress accentuates clean, elegant lines. Silk crepe is gathered into a halter neck, as straps are twisted into a low back. Style it with a belt like our Demi Corello rose gold belt or a sash to cinch in at the waist or pair with one of Charlie Brear’s skirts like Voulaire,…
Add gorgeous movement to your Charlie Brear wedding dress by styling it with these fabulous Zola fringed sleeves! These gorgeous sleeves would work with most of our Charlie Brear wedding dress collection but we think they look stunning on the simple luxe crepe dresses Torum and Payton.
This 1920’s inspired, fringed skirt is unique and stylish. Wear it over one of our Charlie Brear wedding dresses like Torum, Payton or Inya or order it lined and wear it with the Sedena or Sabella top and create an individual bridal separates look.
The Daphine wedding dress is a stunning twisted V-neck dress with 3/4 circle skirt in supreme satin crepe, a gorgeous deep v-back and full train.
