The Dress

Selling my Sophia Tolli 'Gisele' dress for a bride who wants a classic and timeless look. I felt a million dollars in this dress, and any bride who wants a sleek and glamorous look will feel the same. I have never worn this dress other than for the initial fitting when it arrived after being made, so it comes to you fresh in the bag, with only the bust taken in slightly and the bustle already done. The hem is as is (I'm quite tall and didn't need one done), and when the dress arrived at the boutique there was a mark on it, however this has been taken care of by their staff, so this dress is literally spotless!

This dress has stunning button detail up the back with a hidden zip, and the long, elegant train adds to the glamour. The structure and design of the bodice makes for a flattering fit-and-flare fit that shows off your curves tastefully. This dress would go beautifully with a beaded/diamante belt, and a pearl cathedral length veil to add a memorable look.

Described on the Sophia Tolli website: "A modern update on a classic, clean wedding dress, Gisele radiates understated glamour. Crafted from luxurious Pearl Mikado, the strapless bodice features a unique banded neckline and figure-flattering panel lines which highlight the natural curves of the body. The sides and back of the flared skirt feature pick-up like detailing which adds an elegant touch of grandeur. The back of the gown zips up beneath fabric covered buttons which trim the entire length of the chapel train."

Purchased from Always And Forever in Collins Street, Melbourne. I have tried this dress on only once.
