I absolutely loved wearing this dress for my wedding – it has a classic romantic feel with its smooth silhouette, sheer straps, gorgeous train, and elegant but not overpowering lace detailing. The dress features Venice lace appliques on the outer tulle layer, an underlying layer of Chantilly lace, and two layers of crinoline for volume. Note that the color listed on the dress itself is “ivory,” but it actually appears more like white (my seamstress agreed with this judgement). I would not call the dress lightweight, but it was not as heavy as many other dresses that I tried on, and I was fairly comfortable wearing it in June.
I am the second owner of this dress – it was originally bought in 2014, but I purchased it in 2018 from another bride and it was completely unused, unaltered, and in pristine condition at that time. However, the dress did sustain some damage from my wedding – there is a moderate amount of tearing/fraying along the hem of the top layer of tulle as well as a few small holes near the hem of this layer (see pictures). There is also one button that is just slightly loose but still secure (see pictures). There is no other damage or stains that I can find. The alterations I made are listed below. For sizing reference, I wear a 34B bra and the dress was just a little loose on me in the bust area, but I did not add any extra padding and it still looked fine. Also, there is a bra-like strap on the back of the dress with 2 settings to make the chest area slightly tighter or looser (I wore it on the looser setting).
Please feel free to message me with any questions or requests. I’m willing to negotiate on pricing. Also, if you are in my area, you are welcome to come over and try it on! I truly think this is a wonderful dress and I hope it can serve another bride as well as it served me!
