Summary Japanese figure skater Miki Ando models a wedding dress studded with over 13,000 Mikomoto pearls.
Worth almost half a million U.S. dollars and studded with more than 13,000 pearls, the wedding dress was created by Japanese designer, Yumi Katsura.And Ando all but glided into the bridal experience. I feel as though its my real wedding day.Made with premier Mikimoto pearls, the dress is not for sale. And all those gems make it about twice as heavy as a regular wedding gown.Its very heavy, which makes me sense the weight of the determination, honesty and love that people would devote to their weddings.Katsura believes the high quality pearls help send a positive message about her country, which has suffered since a 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
