About the Dress

Originally bought as a Casablanca Style 2468 Eliana dress and altered by adding off-shoulder sleeves that can snap on and off, some lace to the neckline to add some modesty, a bustle, and an additional layer of sequence under the lace layer to allow the dress to glisten more in the sunlight.

This gorgeous A-line gown is intricately-beaded and features sequined 3D floral lace applique dotting the entire bodice and trailing down the skirt. The skirt extends into a 86 inch train with horsehair hem decorating the edges.

This gown can be worn two ways. For the first look, this dress features off shoulder sleeves that accent the sweetheart neckline and open back. For the second look remove the off-shoulder sleeves that snap off and wear it for a second look as a strapless dress.

The gown has six fabric layers. These layers from outer-most to inner are:
1. A beaded-and-sequined, intricate lace layer that features 3D floral lace applique;
2. An additional layer of sequins
3. A soft ivory layer of tulle, ensures a comfortable light wear
4. A soft ivory lining
5. A Crinoline layer to add volume
6. A soft ivory lining

This gown was purchased in August of 2023. My dimensions from the original fitting, in inches, are as follows: Bust 39, Waist 29 1/2, Hip 44, Height is 5'1", weight approx. 140 lbs.

The gown has been professionally dry-cleaned and is in nearly-new condition. No rips, stains or tears, and all beading and sequins seem to be intact.

This is a stunning gown at a great discounted price. I would love to keep it but just don't have the room to store it. This dress is a wonderful find for a beautiful bride-to-be like you!
