The Dress

This dress was so comfortable and flattering and looked lovely with train down or bustled. I had no trouble dancing in it with the train bustled and was never too hot or cold. It dry-cleaned well and is very clean. It will likely need to be steamed/pressed after shipping. It has buttons down the back and built-in bra and boning so you don’t need to worry about bras or shapewear. Just a note on the sizing I listed, I cannot remember what my measurements were last summer when I wore the dress, but I am about 5’9” and weighed about 178 at the time. I wear a US size 10 or size 12 dress size depending on the cut. There is a small tear in the sheer fabric where the dress bustles—I didn’t notice it until post-wedding dry cleaning because of how it was concealed in the folds. Happy to send a photo for scale, it’s about the size of a half dollar and shouldn’t be hard to repair when you have it fitted for your own alterations. The dress was appraised at $880 resale so I’m lowering the price to $550 to compensate for the small repair. One button loop also needs a quick stitch or two to keep it in place. Other than that it is in great condition! Worn July 2022.

Alterations

Hemmed to length (I am 5’9” and wore low heels), added a few additional supports/tacks for bustle, took waist and back in slightly so the dress would not gap.
