The Dress

The most beautiful European Haute Couture dress made by Crystal Design. This designer is only sold at ONE store in Canada and it takes 8 months to hand sew it in the Ukraine and then 2 months for delivery to Canada. I waited over 10 months for this incredible dress! It is all completely hand beaded on lace, an amazing train and I paid $500 to have a bustle added. It is called "Fler" and is part of Crystal Design's Haute Couture collection. (see links below)

I paid $4,041.00 plus tax (included here is a link to the website so you can see that is the exact amount I paid for it). I am discounting $1500, plus the $700 for the alterations and to have a bustle added - that's over $2000 off this dress.

The dress is EU 42, which for this dress is considered a 10. (Based on Crystal Design Sizing chart, different designers have different sizing charts). I did not alter the hips but I had the waist and bust taken in quite a bit. In everyday life, I wear a dress size 6-8, or a medium; my bust is 34 DD and height is 5'9 (in the dress I wore 1.5 inch heals so it's altered to 5'10.5')

I am:
38 Bust
28 Waist
41 Hips
and a 34 DD

The dress is Ivory in colour and almost completed hand beaded.

I will be sad to sell this dress because I loved it and still love it but will be so happy for whoever gets to wear it again! It also happens to be so comfortable, which is plus :)

Happy Dress Shopping!

Alterations

Hips were not altered, just the waist and bust taken in about 2 inches each side. If you are a hourglass shape, this is the perfect dress for you! I am very small in the waist with wide hips and this dress fit perfect.
