The Dress

I'm the second owner of this dress! Here's the description from when I found it: This is the Oscar de la Renta Caroline gown (style 66N08), strapless, trumpet style with gorgeous ruffle back. A true one-of-a kind and not made anymore! This gown is made from ivory stretch Mikado silk fabric making it SUPER comfy, flattering, and features a ruched, cinching bodice (with boning) and cascading, exaggerated ruffle back for an elegant couture effect. It is 79% silk/ 16% polyamide/ 5% elastine. Hidden zip back for smooth lines, made in the USA. Purchased brand new (original tag 6/8), tailored to my size [removed] lb 5'6" frame 34C bust. I wore 2.5" heels. The seamstress tied an easy set of ties to bustle it in the back This is the very last dress Oscar designed for his bridal collection before he passed away! It is truly a spectacular dress and it elevates your look to the elegance you've always dreamed of! The dress is in immaculate condition and was dry cleaned and re-pressed with no marks, damage or any flaws. Retail value new $10k+ It's recently been dry-cleaned. I wore it for less than 3 hours. I received so many compliments, including from a former Vogue editor! 😜 Perks: I'm a street size 0-2. This could probably fit a 4. It's very forgiving. And SO COMFORTABLE. It's very light to wear. This was my second dress and the first one was beaded/ heavy so this was a life-saver. It's easy to dry-clean. Was on the lower end since there was no heading detail etc. (since dry-cleaning alone can cost upwards of $800!) Fyi I'm 5'6" and wore 4+ inch heels and it was perfect!
