This dress was worn on October 8, 2005. It was worn at an event filled with love and laughter- best yet, my husband and I just celebrated 13 years of wedded bliss! This dress was cleaned immediately after the event and was stored wrapped in sheets in a trunk in a climate controlled, smoke-and pet-free area of the house. The veil is included- it is not of the same designer but goes great with the dress.
It is a gorgeous ballgown, made with duchesse satin. It has a tulle overlay, creating a beautiful swishy skirt which photographs so well! It is a fitted bodice, with a stunning Swarovski crystal and silver thread pattern on it, which is also repeated on the capped sleeves. The waist is natural.
The skirt is a tulle overlay with two layers. The beading, crystals, and thread is repeated on the skirt multiple times. The skirt is set to be bustled as shown in the pictures below. It is easy to bustle- just hooking loops over buttons.
There are a few loose threads under the arms where it looks like some beads have come off. The right sleeve has been reinforced as well.
It was a size 20 in wedding gown sizes- when I wore it, I was 5’10” and 200 pounds.
I am open to offers on the dress, but please, serious inquiries only.
