The Dress

This dress speaks for itself. Its absolutely beautiful and makes you feel like a princess. The details are as follows -

Dress:

Fall in love all over again in this dreamy ball gown, delicately placed embroidered lace on tulle sparkles with metallic thread and Swarovski crystals. Complete with a delicate waistband and zipper over inner elastic closure.

There was three alterations made
1. Grip tape was added to the bust line
2. A bustle was added to the dress
3. Length was slightly altered (I am 163cm and wore 5cm heels)

Condition:

Dry cleaned shortly after the wedding and there are no visible signs of wear, has been in storage since.

Price:

Bought for $3500.00 AUD + $500 alterations. Price is not negotiable as I believe its more than fair for a dress as exquisite as this one and with regard to its amazing quality.

Other:

Purchased from Raffaele Ciuca who are an authorised Maggie Sottero retailer in 2018
This is now a discontinued line
Purchased in May 2018 and worn in Feb 2019 for my wedding
Has been cleaned and in storage ever since
I was also 10 weeks pregnant at the time of wearing the dress and had zero discomfort during the day
Dress is a zip up back - however there are buttons sewn on to cover this (you can choose to use them I did not)
There is beading all through the bodice and skirt that the light reflects beautifully - the skirt has a detailed scalloped edging.

Alterations

Length - I am 163cm tall and wore heels on the day. Still plenty of length in it
Bustle added for the train
Grip tape added around the bust to prevent slipping
