The Dress

"Mystical romance is created in this short sleeved Sabrina neckline gown. The illusion bodice is wrapped in hand sewn Venice lace and the circular cut silk chiffon effortlessly flows to the floor. A modern keyhole back is accented by illusion Venice lace"

Style now discontinued so very hard to find!

I fell in love with this dress after seeing it online and after searching high and low I lucked out and found a sample dress in a bridal store! I had an appointment to have it altered next year but then during wedding planning we decided to just elope so I won't get to wear it.
It is ex-sample so it does have a few wee bits and pieces that need a facelift but nothing that would ever have put me off buying it. I paid £650 for the sample (original price is/was £1,300). The button loops need replaced/tightened (see pictures 3 and 4) to make them more streamlined but seamstress said this is a straightforward fix. There is one button on the top part of the back as well that needs a new elastic loop added as this has fallen off - I have it secured with a safety pin for the picture so you can see the way the keyhole back looks.

The label says US 14 but I wear a 10-12 and it fits me well on the waist and just needs taken in a bit around the bust. The skirt is a light layered chiffon/silk material and has never been altered so it's still really long.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions you might have. Anyone who wants to pop round and fit the gown on can do that too! I'm based in Derry City, NI.
