About the Dress

Note: I have updated the description below.

What: A timeless and elegant gown. The bodice features a V-neckline and soft draping which continues into the skirt.

Patricia Santos is a well known designer in the Philippines/Asia and PS Officiel is her made to measure line. Each PS Officiel is custom-made for each bride at ordering. Just to clarify, this gown is already made and was made to my size and for sale as it is. It can be fitted better to you by a seamstress, unless you have the exact measurements as me. My measurements are listed below. Although the gown was made to my measurements it still needed to be altered slightly to fit better once I received it - the shoulders lifted, the arm length shortened and the hem adjusted. I have decided to sell it as it is, at the discounted price, in consideration of alterations you might need to do, to make it fit your body perfectly. I believe it will be fairly easy and not expensive to alter down a size or two, add bust support (none yet here) or tweak as needed as there is no sequins or beading.

Design: The deep v neck on the front and back visually lengthens the torso. A band on the waist was also added to give an illusion of a slimmer waist and the spotted organza overlay is elegantly draped over the bust, flowing down to the skirt. There is a short train on the back and an invisible zip closure at center back which is hidden by faux pearl buttons. The long sleeves is made from the same semi-translucent, slightly shimmery spotted organza fabric and also enclosed with faux pearl buttons at the wrist. The skirt has a slit on one side to show a bit of leg when you walk.

Size-wise it would fit a slightly plus-sized bride between a street size 16 & maybe a small 18.

Height: It would fit someone 5 feet 6 inches (with flat shoes on) or shorter.

Condition: This gown is sold as brand new with tags. I haven't had a chance to wear it as our wedding has been postponed several times now and I have decided to wear a different style of gown.

The closest gowns I have found similar to it are: Karen WIllis Homes in Nikki, Karen WIllis Holmes in Valencia, Karen Willis Holmes in Penelope, Rime Arodaky in Joni Swiss Dot Tulle, Bo & Luca in Oslo, Marianna Hardwick in Alexis, Rebecca Schoneveld in Flora (fabric).
