Wife says Nathan Bracken loved her 'nude' dress

Haley Bracken says her Australian fast bowler husband Nathan Bracken loved the dress she wore to the Allan Border Medal presentation.

Haley had emerged as the showstopper at the event as she walked the red carpet in her see-through mesh bodice atop a mermaid-style train.

"He was a little bit quiet to start with, but he said, 'I think you look great, so who cares what anyone else thinks'?" The Daily Telegraph quoted her as saying about Bracken's reaction to the revealing gown.

Her son also reportedly admired her dress. She said: "My little boy called me a princess and that was enough for me."

Haley also aced a reader poll of best-dressed WAGs (wives and girlfriends). She designed the daring frock herself, and she now plans to wear it at the Mrs World Australia and Mrs Globe Australia competitions this year.
