The Dress

This is an A-line ivory gown with floral appliqués, pearl beads, sequins, and glitter tulle draped off the shoulder straps - everything you could want! It has pearl buttons to enclose the back that are just gorgeous, and the applique are just so pretty as well. The leg slit in the skirt is the perfect size in my opinion, and the skirt also has a nice lightweight tulle train, which I believe is considered chapel length.

It is NOT missing buttons on the back, I just didn't bother to button them all :)

I LOVE this dress, but have decided to sell it because I wanted to change the lining to a nude color to better suit my skin tone, and it just ended up being too expensive. It has never been used except for try-ons. Note: I do have dogs, as a warning to anyone with severe dog allergies (since I tried it on at home).

While it's not a true store sample, it was from an online shop where they have 48 hour at home try-ons, so a number of people had tried it on prior to me. It has a teeny tiny barely noticeable little tear near the illusion fabric that goes across the notch neckline, and there's a broken thread where one of the sleeves attaches. I contacted an alterations specialist and they said these are easy, low-cost repairs. Happy to send photos of these upon request! The sleeves are not currently detachable, but that is also a relatively simple alteration to get done if desired.

Precise dress measurements are 34.7" bust, 26.8" waist, 37.8" hips (though the hips have a lot of room due to the dress shape). My measurements are 31.5", 25", 38" for comparison. I'm not sure of the exact length, but I'm 5'4" for reference, and it's probably about 4-6" too long for me without any shoes on.

I will be sad to see this dress go, but I'd love for someone else to get to enjoy it because it truly is gorgeous!
