This dress is a timeless, yet unconventional classic. It is an ivory / off white and has a textured pattern reminiscent of roses. The material is substantial and luxe, though it was light enough to be worn (by me) at a late afternoon/evening wedding in Mexico in January. The rusching around the waist area is forgiving and the dress was amazingly easy to wear.
The dress was altered in the following ways:
- subtle sweetheart neckline was created
- a curved back reveal more of the back and shoulder blades
- pads were added at the bust and can be easily removed without damaging the dress
Regarding the street size, I'm not sure what it actually is, since that seems to be a moving target in the industry. The approximate dimensions are:
- 14" waist when laid flat
- 17" bust when laid flat
- 39" from waist to the shortest point on the dress (it has a train)
I'm 5'5" and 110lbs, slight build, and wore 2" heels.
It has been professionally dry cleaned and hermetically sealed and is in perfect condition.
The retail prices was $3520, but the store (Bridal Galleria in San Francisco) gave me an in-stock discount. With tax, I paid $2864.40 before alterations. My alterations cost $412.31, and they were also done at Bridal Galleria.
All reasonable offers considered. Thanks for looking!
