LOVE This dreamy dress was ideal for my romantic garden/estate wedding. With a classic, A-line silhouette the dress floats and moves so easily. Received so many compliments on its unique color, which plays particularly well on women with darker or olive skin. I am not exaggerating when I say it was the "IT" dress at the sample sale dressing room when I purchased the gown. I had women asking me if I was going to buy it and clamoring for dibs.
DETAILS Lyric dress from the designer's 2009 Spring Platinum Collection Originally retailed for $10,000+ Worn at April 2014 Wedding Champagne color, termed "latte" by the designer Strapless gown with sweetheart neckline Silk satin ruched bodice Natural waist featuring velvet ribbon belt Garland embroidered ruffle of tiny ivory beads, pearls and appliqué Tulle skirt Side zipper Sold with a matching tulle veil that was made from one of the gown's 16 layers of tulle
CONDITION This dress was purchased as a floor sample at the design houses' own sale. The upper levels of tulle, the garland and bodice have damage and repairs were made to the dress before i wore it for my wedding. The wear and tear did not impact the look and feel of the dress & listed price reflects the worn condition. Professionally dry cleaned.
SIZE Dress is label size 10. I wear a street size 8 or 10 US and have a 34 DD bust. The only alteration was a hem, which took up the length to accommodate my 5'4" frame in 2 inch heels. The dress barely grazed the ground.
