The Dress

This dress has been worn once and it has been professionally dry cleaned and packaged. This Essence of Australia dress retails for $2300, so you won’t find this steep of a deal anywhere else. I’m listing exclusively on Stillwhite.

I purchased this dress from Ellie’s Bridal Boutique in Alexandria, VA. This dress is unique, flirty, and stunning all at once. I did not want to take it off!! It was so flattering on my thick and curvy body (-: On that note, yes, yes I did gain weight between buying the dress (video) and the wedding. Again, this dress is so so flattering!

One of my favorite descriptions of this dress is from Seller Callie on Stillwhite: “Expertly designed, this ballgown is not your run-of-the-mill silhouette. Bold graphic laces breath fresh life into the gown as they layer intricately over the semi-sheer bodice, and seem to float slightly over the illusion neckline. The textured skirt features multiple tiers of bouncy tulle, finished with horsehair trim on every layer to maintain volume and movement. The classic V-neckline complements the high-rising V-back for support, while the organic straps add that delicate flair of whimsy to highlight the shoulders and upper back. For a ballgown, this dress is extremely comfortable and not as heavy as you would believe. This is a beautiful and one of a kind dress.”

Can’t wait to give this dress a happy new home. I’m open to offers!

Alterations

I purchased a size 18. Slight alterations were made in the bust. The cut of this dress is very forgiving (so said the tailor) so I would expect the possibilities for future alterations (adding and reducing) will be endless for you.
