The Dress

Romona Keveza 100% "Shantung" Silk Ivory 2-in-1 gown with hidden mini dress -- RARE, clean

PLEASE READ THE SIZING AND FABRIC INFO CAREFULLY BEFORE PURCHASING.

I purchased this dress new in 2019 from Macys. I absolutely loved wearing this unique dress for my wedding and I am ready to pass it along so that it can bring someone else joy. It has been professionally dry-cleaned and came out ALMOST perfect (see below, see photo with arrows). The flowing silk train snaps on at the hips over the mini-dress to create a gown look (it attaches with a hidden button loop and hidden snaps). This was great because I could do a fun dramatic reveal at my reception (mini dress = better dancing). The silk fabric is "Shantung" style silk: it is medium weight and creamy vintage-looking ivory silk with some natural variation in the weaving and shade/sheen (see close-up photos for fabric detail). Despite being professionally dry cleaned, I did find two small blemishes and a bit of discoloration in the fabric under one of the arms--I don't think this would ever show up on photos or be obvious, but I imagine that another round of professional cleaning could fix these imperfections if desired.

There is a very minor part of fabric stitching that came loose at the top/front seam of the bodice (also see photos). I think it would be totally hidden during wear, but it would also be an easy fix for whoever does your alterations. The blemishes/imperfections are marked and labeled on the photo with the blue arrows.

Please feel free to message me for more details/photos. I am happy to meet in person to let potential buyers try it on :)

Alterations

The "hidden" mini-dress portion was tailored to fit me like a glove and stay IN PLACE. The fitted portion could be taken in, but NOT let out. My measurements at the time were:

Bust: 35"
Waist: 27.5"
Hips: 38"
Height: 5'6" (would probably fit up to 5'8", I didn't have the skirt hemmed because I wanted an extra flowy look). I wore it with 2.5-ish inch cowboy boots and there was still some extra length. (I'll be honest, I just didn't care enough to pay that much more in alterations...)
