About the Dress

The bride wishes to sell her unique, custom-made gown to someone who will love it as much as she did. The gown, originally an Amaline Vitale piece in deep ivory 100% thick silk, features a nipped-in waist, creating a classic A-line silhouette. Australian wedding dress designer Holly Butler customised the gown adding brown, green, and cream hand-stitched floral lace and panels to the bodice. The florals gracefully cascade around the sides and the low, plunging back of the dress, which falls between a low and backless style. The neckline is a blend of v-neck, plunging, and sweetheart styles. It also has deep pockets for practicality and convenience (handy to store a phone or hand written vows). The bride, (a standard size 8 and 163cm tall) had the straps altered to a shorter length, and elastic was added in to keep them securely in place. The dress is easily adjustable, allowing for modifications such as strap length, bust width, and hem. The dress was worn only once, has been dry cleaned, and exhibits a slight variation in color on the hem from wear, though it is hardly noticeable. A clip holding the waist tore and was stitched up. Minor alterations may be needed for the new bride, but these can be easily adjusted. Price is negotiable. Try on/Pick-up in Blackburn, Victoria Australia 3130. Postage available for additional cost.
