The Dress

August 2024:
This beautiful dress is STILL FOR SALE.
I have greatly reduced the price, and whoever purchases it will be getting an incredible deal. I will not be selling the overskirt separately from the dress.

I am selling this beautiful Dranoe dress by Pronovias. I bought it in January 2018 for my wedding in September 2018, but since then I have fallen out of love with it, so went with my gut and have bought another dress.

I must stress there is absolutely nothing wrong with this dress; I have only put it on twice for alterations and it really is stunning. It’s just not the right one for me, unfortunately.

The skirt is detachable so you technically get two dresses in one. The actual dress is a mermaid of royal satin, and fits like a second skin. The overskirt is also royal satin with Chantilly appliqués. My alterations have enabled the skirt to fit to the mermaid dress better, as the original has nothing there to hold it in place. Please do not message me asking to sell the skirt separately - I am only selling them together.

The sheer top is nude coloured, so blends into pale/olive skin beautifully. The appliqués really do just look like they’re on your skin, and are so beautiful.

The top has built in cups and boning. I’m not sure on the exact size of the cups, but they look fantastic even if you don’t fill them (if that makes sense!?) for example, I’m a 34DD and the cups are slightly too big and give me zero cleavage (what I wanted), but I’m told someone blessed with boobs much larger than mine would fit into them too - cleavage included!

In terms of size, I am pretty much your bog-standard UK 12, with a smaller waist and a bigger bum and thighs. I’m quite tall (177cm/5ft 10) and a 34DD. I’m happy to provide full measurements if you wish, and of course answer any questions at all. I have the dress at my house in a dust bag - this is a completely smoke-free home and the dress has only been outside when I brought it back from the shop.

This dress retails at around £2000, depending where you get it from. I paid £1782 plus £75 for alterations. I am open to sensible discussions regarding the price of this dress.

Many thanks for reading!
