About: Brand new, never worn, never tried-on wedding gown. Only removed from original garment bag once to take listing photographs. Tags still attached. No alterations. Not dry cleaned because never worn. Original BHLDN garment bag and hanger included. Selling this alluring, sparkly gown only due to a fluctuation in my size following its purchase, which would require the dress to be tailored more than the maximum 2 sizes smaller able to be done by my tailor. (Personal measurements listed here are my previous measurements when I purchased this dress.) As cliché as it may sound, I truly never felt as beautiful and elegant as when I tried on the sample dress in-store. This gown is so special and magical that I reordered the same style in my new size to wear on my own wedding day! Somehow, this dress is demure and showstopping all at once. This one-of-a-kind gown picks up light and sparkles gently at your every turn, sure to create a gasp-worthy, everlasting impact on your wedding day.

Recommendations:
When trying on at home, it is advisable to gently steam the bottom of the dress to remove any wrinkles prior to wearing in order to get a true sense of how the skirt hangs and drapes outward. Store hanging in the included garment bag. This gown is best paired with a blush veil. Consider purchasing underwire cups or bra pad inserts, such as Bravo brand, for your bridal tailor to add to this gown for bust support and shaping. If you like the whimsically flowy nature of the skirt and train, be sure to reiterate this with your tailor to prevent the hem from being cut too short during alterations. Your tailor may also be able to add a bustle to the back if you would like, making dancing at your reception much easier. A skilled tailor should also be able to size down a wedding dress to a maximum of 2 sizes smaller if necessary.
