The Dress

Berta 18-14 is an exquisite fit and flare gown featuring a show-stopping train! The plunging V neck bodice has delicate straps that lead into a romantic open back with illusion sides! A delicate floral lace pattern covers the bodice and trickles down the skirt into a frothy organza hem!

As you can tell, this dress photographs absolutely amazing! My guests gave the dress so many compliments and I felt so beautiful in it. The sheer sides and details to the lace are jaw dropping.

There is no comparison to a designer gown but spending 10,000 is a tough pill to swallow. Hopefully this dress can now be passed to someone who will enjoy the craftsmanship at a fraction of the cost.

Alterations

I am the second to wear this. I only wore it for the ceremony and it has been cleaned. Please see pictures for the slight bow in the beaded belt. This may be repaired if desired. The previous owner had damaged the original horsehair in the hem, probably from too much friction with pointed shoes. I had the horse hair removed and the hem repaired with as much drop as possible. See video for visual. I am 5’ 5” and wore flats. Please note that this dress cannot be let down. The waist has been altered but fabric left to be altered again if needed.
