The Dress

Temperley Laelia Floral dress, for sale, £1750 worn once in July 2017.

Description: Floral embroidery enhances the exquisite presence of this silk gown from Temperley London. A draped sash wraps around the skirt and sweeps to the floor in a graceful train. A mesh illusion neckline and dainty cap sleeves add delicate elements to the intricate design. The dress is fully lined with a hidden back zip, so no fiddly buttons! A dancing loop for your finger and a bustle loop at the front have been added for convenience. I am 5ft 6inches tall, size 10 and I wore the dress with heels approx 3 inches, so it would be suitable for someone of up to 5ft 9inches depending on their shoes. The dress has been dry cleaned and is in pristine condition, no marks, holes or flaws.
