The Dress

I bought this beautiful dress from Stillwhite, but unfortunately it is not quite the dress for me and I am gutted to sell it. I have included below all of the details that the previous seller described the dress as!

Karen Willis Holmes describes the Perry dress as follows:

“This gown is a gorgeous version of Cassie, featuring a beautiful V-Neckline, long sleeves and the art deco beading we all can’t get enough of. This gown balances the perfect amount of openness with the elegant sophistication of long sleeves. Perry’s exquisite sequin pattern emphasises an hourglass shape by gathering in at the waistline, creating an ultra-flattering silhouette. Finished with a fine beaded belt, and featuring a simple tie at the back of the neck.”

The previous seller said:

I loved wearing this dress so much and wouldn’t change a thing about it. The sequins and beading are absolutely beautiful and glisten in the sun. I received so many compliments! I’m sad to sell it but have no use for it now and would love to see it worn again.

The dress has been professionally dry cleaned and boxed by the dry cleaners recommended by KWH (total cost over $600). There is no damage to the dress.

I am typically a street size 10 but found that the size 10 dress was too snug around my arms. I bought the 12 so that I had a bit more freedom to move and dance. Because of the way the dress is cut and the way it falls, it would suit a size 10-12.

I still have the KWH coathangers, dress bag and spare sequins/beads.

Alterations

The previous seller said: I paid $700 for the following alterations: hemming of the dress (I am 170cm tall and wore 7.5cm heels), shortening of the sleeves, addition of a bustle, and changed the tie at the back of the neck to a white button.
