The Dress

Hello Brides!

This is a lacey and sexy yet very classy wedding dress (model D2387) from Essence of Australia! I wore it once for my Big Day back in Jan 2019 and although I will forever cherish the memories I had in this dress, I felt it was time to part ways so that it could be a part of someone else's special day! I was fortunately able to avoid any spills on the dress and got it cleaned/preserved 1 week after the wedding so it's in nearly perfect condition! I have receipts confirming the price/dates of purchase for the wedding dress, alterations, and preservation.

The silouhette is a "slight fit-and-flare silhouette," as described on the Essence of Australia website and does not look too tight/stiff around the hips or too wide below the hips. As you can see in the pictures, the "fit-and-flare" look is pretty subtle allowing the dress to flow more naturally with the shape of your body which is one of the many things that made me fall in love with the dress. Also as mentioned in the Essence of Australia website, the layers of tulle gives this dress just the right amount of the boho feel. The soft beautiful lace work that covers the entire dress balances the layers of tulle perfectly to simultaneously create a elegant and classy look. The back is a low scoop design and unique in that the fabric of the back is transparent and creates a beautiful contrast with the lacing on the edges (pics included)! The lace design in the torso/waist area also makes your waist appear smaller and hips wider if you prefer a curvier look! I loved this dress so much and I hope it can be a part of your special day!

Alterations

The only alterations made to this dress were the following:
* Dress was hemmed to fit my height (5'3") with 2.79" heels
* Created an American bustle (aka "outer bustle"): A button was placed on the outside and inside of the gown with corresponding loops so I could lift my train and dance for the ceremony! This can easily be removed so you could alter the bustle type any way you want!
