The Dress

Selling my exquisite custom Hayley Paige bridal gown with detachable sleeves.

After watching Say Yes to the Dress my entire life I expected a lengthy dress shopping experience but I found this dress at my first boutique and knew nothing could top it. It is truly the most magical dress I have ever seen and I felt exactly as I had always hoped to on my wedding day. As an added bonus the dress has detachable sleeves. I chose to go sleeveless for the ceremony and add the sleeves in the evening as a 'second look'. The glitter detail is breath taking and done with an ombre effect that draws your eye up. The bodice detail continues down the skirt in countless tiny stitched white sequins.

The internal structure of the gown is just as impressive with secure boning throughout the bodice and a band in the bottom of the skirt to maintain the shape and avoid layers of fabric getting stuck.

It is in excellent condition, I had it dry-cleaned by Nova Klean Drycleaners in London which has a 5 star rating on Google with nearly 1,000 reviews. They even inspect the entire gown with black-light technology. Specks of glitter do come off the more it is handled due to the delicate nature of the gown but it is not noticeable by looking at the gown, other than leaving bits of glitter wherever you go!

I purchased the gown from Anna Be bridal boutique in Denver, Colorado and had it custom made to drop the back. Our wedding was featured on the boutique's website: https://anna-be.com/real-weddings/fairytale-mansion-wedding-in-england-featuring-anna-be-colorado-wedding-dress

The description from the designer website is: Nightshine sparkle embroidered ball gown, deep sweetheart neckline and detachable off-the-shoulder dream catcher sleeves, full ball gown skirt with embroidered applique at the hip and sparkle throughout.

Alterations

The bodice has been taken in which is why I list it as label size of 12, actual size of 10.
It has not been shortened, I am 5'5 and wore 4 inch heels.
The wrists of the detachable sleeves has been tightened slightly just to avoid dropping over my hands.
