About the Dress

I am selling my STUNNING Crystal Design Haute Couture wedding gown, which is from the designer's ICON collection. Purchased at £2,000 from Love Bridal London, they are the ONLY UK stockist of this label. The label is Ukrainian and in order to keep the gowns exclusive, they only allow one stockist per country. You are therefore unlikely to find this dress elsewhere.

I also have a matching Joyce Jackson floor length ivory diamante veil for sale (RRP £200) in original box.

You will see from different images that on the model it goes more straight down A-line, whereas on me it goes out more ballgown, as I wore a hoop underneath; so the preference is yours.

This dress does have to be seen to be believed; it is so unique. The bodice is sheer and underlined around chest, covered in applique, beading and sequins. I had bra cups built in, but of course these can be taken out if not suitable (I had these added in for uplift and shape, but as you can probably tell from images, the original dress shows the model without these). The skirt has 4 layers of slightly structured underskirt, pink tulle, sequinned tulle and ivory tulle to create an amazing sparkle and glow. The detailing of the bodice continues all the way around, making way for some unbelievable close up shots.

I had so many comments on the day about just how amazing this dress is and have had comments from all over since posting our wedding photos, all commenting on the dress. One friend even said she loved it more than her own.

It really is an absolutely exquisite dress, I am selling it to give another bride the chance to feel how I did...I don't want such a beautiful dress sitting in a box in the loft!

It has been professionally dry cleaned already at a cost of £95, and ready to go to a new owner.

Alterations

I had bra cups built in, which can be removed. I also had back removed, as it had a full sheer back with buttons all up. Apart from that, the EU 38 was a perfect fit and had no sizing alterations needed. I would say it is a small size 10 around top half.
