The Dress

New with tags unaltered sample gown Truvelle Calista V1. I bought this in a sample sale but it is too large on me to be alterable and is not refundable. It’s a gorgeous dress and for a sample is in really amazing condition. There are no flaws, tears or damage, it’s just a tiny bit dirty at the very end of the underside of the train but a regular dry cleaning would take care of it easily and it’s really not noticeable due to the fabric.

Tag size 10 but fits more like an 8. The truvelle size chart lists a 10 as being bust 36-37” and waist 29-30”. I wear a 2-4 with a 27inch waist and 34A bra (33” at fullest part of bust) and it was clipped 2-3 inches in the waist and was quite big in the cups/bust. Photographed with a 90” veil. It’s very comfortable because the material is light and fluttery and there’s no boning anywhere. I’m 5’10 and it’s maybe 2 inches too long for me barefoot.

Sad to part ways with it but I just wouldn’t have been able to alter it down to my size successfully. The train is so gorgeous and it’s so comfortable!
