The Dress

Marylise Martina dress in Ivory from the 2019 collection.

This dress was purchased in a size 38 and I have had it altered (to fit AU size 8).

This dress is so special, from the coral print across the bust, to the embossed fern print through the skirting, this dress reminded me of the Daintree in North Queensland, ocean meets rainforest.
The deep plunge at the bust and Y shaped straps at the back are also very special details.

The classic A-line shape meant the skirting fell so beautifully and allowed me to dance the night away.

I used a 'booby tape' as the plunging neckline, didn't allow for too many bra options.

This dress has been dry-cleaned professionally (with certificates available).

Dress was $2860, alterations $800, dry-cleaning $500.

Selling at $1, 500.

Main fabric - 67% Polyester, 21% Silk, 12 % Acrylic.
