The Dress

This Galina Signature size 16W ivory dress has a single outer layer of tulle covered in embroidered and beaded flowers. Above the sweetheart neckline, the top is made of sheer ivory fabric with cute cap sleeves made of with appliqué flowers at the edge. The back of the dress down to about the waist is also sheer, stretchy fabric with some applique flowers. The dress features a structured bodice with boning. Buttons up the back above the zipper. Three layers of skirt provides lovely volume. Chapel length train.

The dress is in very good condition. The only noticeable blemish of any kind is that the inside of the very bottom of the train has some discoloration from dragging on the ground, but this isn’t visible when you’re wearing it because the discoloration faces the ground.

I bought this dress used at a bridal consignment store in Seattle. I won't be wearing it for my wedding because I lost enough weight that it's simply too big for me now. Because I bought it used, I don't know its history with certainty, but I do not think it's been altered or hemmed. Stored carefully since purchase.

It has ties for a bustle already sewn in!

Here are measurements of the dress (not my body) taken while the dress was laying flat.

Bust: 18.5"
Waist: 18"
Hip: 23"
Flare: 50"
Strap to Hem: 62" (the illusion top stretches quite a bit and the weight of the dress makes the dress longer when worn. I'm 5'6" barefoot and a few inches puddle on the floor when I wear it barefoot.)
Waist to Hem: 44"
