About the Dress

Used but good condition, authentic Catherine Deane Thea bridal gown (now sold out on BHLDN).

Romantic, elegant and timeless wedding dress. Long, flowing, floorlength silk skirt with a chiffon overskirt that forms a train, with intricate pearl beading on the gorgeous silk-lined bodice. This dress is stunning and with the alterations feels like a custom one-of-a-kind gown.

There is some small but easily fixable wear and tear: a small rip in the chiffon by the zip in the back as seen in the fourth picture (could be mended by folding over a tiny amount of the voluminous chiffon), plus some minor stains at the very base of the skirt that could easily be removed with simple alteration.

The dress has been professionally dry cleaned and boxed by wedding dress specialists, Terrington Burchett Ltd: Bridal Gown Cleaning & Heirloom Specialists.

Alterations

The dress was altered to fit a UK size 4/US 00, with a beautifully tailored corset built into the silk lining of the bodice, which was £1,000 on top of the original £1,800 cost of the dress. The skirt was hemmed to fit a person 5'3" without heels (tailored to 5'2" person wearing one-inch heels).
