The Dress

**Elegant Minimalist Ball Gown with Detachable Organza Sleeves and Crepe Belt**

This minimalist ball gown is the perfect blend of classic and modern, offering a clean, elegant silhouette with versatile details that make it unforgettable. Featuring a sweetheart neckline, detachable organza sleeves, and a sleek crepe belt.

**Why I Loved It**

This dress was simple yet sophisticated, without heavy embroidery but full of character. Its versatility gave me styling options to suit each moment:

- Ceremony: I wore it with the detachable organza sleeves for a soft, romantic touch and off-the-shoulder look.
- Removing the sleeves created a strapless look, beautifully highlighting the sweetheart neckline.
- Dancing: I bustled the chapel-length train for sunset dancing, later pairing the dress with a faux jacket for warmth.
- It also includes detachable spaghetti straps for another optional look.

This dress has sewn-in bra cups, so I didn’t need to worry about buying an additional bra solution.

**What You'll Get**

The dress has been meticulously cared for (worn once), professionally dry-cleaned, and includes its original designer label and accessories. It comes with a protective garment bag for safe storage.

If interested, I’m also happy to include a chapel-length pearl-beaded veil (retail price NZD265) and faux jacket for a small additional fee (e.g,. NZD100 each or NZD150 for both of the veil and faux jacket).

Please reach out with any questions!

Alterations

The dress is a US8 (NZ12), and I typically wear a NZ10. I’m 176 cm tall and wore 2 cm platform shoes with this gown, which required a slight hem on the organza layers and linings.

I also added cotton loops to hems of layers and down the back of the train, making it easy to hook up all layers for dancing—saving you the cost of adding this feature.
