The Dress

Beautiful size 6 ivory and blush wedding dress by Essence of Australia in great condition. It offers two styles in one: it can be worn strapless or with the removable topper. It has a soft organza full skirt with blush underlay, crystal embellishments, crinoline underneath for volume, and slight train in back.

The sweetheart bodice with exposed boning has delicate lace applique and beading, pearls, and crystals. So romantic! Zip back and button-loop closures.

The detachable illusion topper has elbow-length sleeves, button-loop closures (both down the back and along the hem to attach to the dress's bodice) and beading/applique that matches the bodice's embellishments.

While I can't say for sure if this dress has been altered, there are no marks to indicate that it has. It might have been a sample, or perhaps worn once, but it's in great condition. It does have one small hem tear in the top layer of organza near the front of the dress as shown in the last picture. I also can't tell if it's been dry cleaned, but would guess that it has, because it smells fresh and clean and there is no discoloration or indication of wear in the bodice. The inner skirt layers at the hem do show a bit of dust and dirt from floor wear.

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have, and send extra pics if requested.

MEASUREMENTS:
In the Essense of Australia size chart, a size 6 is listed as 33.5" bust, 25" waist, 36.5" hips. Having read some about the brand's sizing, it usually just runs one size larger than street size, so this style would likely be ideal for a street size 4, but might work great for a street size 2 or 6 as well when factoring in alterations.

Here are the measurements I took of the dress:

BUST:
32" around the outside of the dress at the fullest part of the bust; 15" across laying flat, underarm to underarm; 10" vertical from top of sweetheart to waistline, over bust cup

WAIST:
27" around the outside of the dress; 12.5" across laying flat

MISC.
7" side, top of bodice at underarm to waistline; 48" skirt length in front, from bottom of bodice to hemline
