The Dress

Monique Lhuillier - Bloom gown in Ivory.

The dress was worn for 10 hours, it has been professionally cleaned and touched up by seamstress to reinforce a couple of spots on the ruffles and bustle. The dress has a 3 point bustle. Maximum height with heels I would say for this dress is 168-170 cm (I strongly recommend to measure your total height with heels on as opposed to adding the heel height to your known height).

The dress has a couple of small marks on the hem that didn't come out but you only see them if you go looking for them, they are not visible from normal distance. One point of the bustle has been reinforced with a small piece of fabric, the fabric is strong on its own but also fragile around stiches as with any silk type and I would say especially so with open weave. Otherwise it's in a great condition, more than ready to be worn again.

Open weave silk gazar fabric has very luxurious flow to it. Compared to the similar ML Ambrosia - made of organza, this one retails for 500-1000$ more. The seamstress loved the fabric and said it even sounds different when being cut, compared to the more usual fabrics.

The dress is very light and will make you feel absolutely beautiful, for me this was a third wedding dress I bought (as the wedding planning period streched to few years) and this is the only one that made truly happy and confident. It was worth the extra cost.

International shipping is no problem to arrange for me!
