The Dress

First seen on the red carpet, the Minerva is a backless floor-length gown with a sensual silhouette. Featuring a twisted, asymmetric neckline this non-corseted gown drapes heavy silk satin across the body, to pool in a train.

I tried on more than 40 dresses and this was my dream dress! It’s a perfect balance of classic and cool girl, and the fabric is incredibly luxurious. I wore it briefly during my church ceremony in July 2024 before changing into a different dress for our reception. It has not been altered in any way.

The dress has been professionally dry cleaned by Elegance Preserved, a premiere Bay Area bridal specialist cleaner. There are very small runs at the bottom of the dress, 2 tiny marks on the interior of the dress at the bust, and the other half of the clasp at the top of the zipper fell off. These minor imperfections would not be noticeable when worn nor visible in photos, and the dress is priced accordingly.

Please message me with any questions, and I’m happy to schedule a meeting if you are local to the Bay Area. Given the delicate nature of the fabric, I will not allow try ons.

I will include the plastic garment bag from the cleaner, the cleaner’s protective outer muslin bag, and the original fabric Vivienne Westwood garment bag.
