The Dress

Absolutely gorgeous Catherine Deane wedding dress for sale in style Laverne, UK size 8 (RRP £1,300). Worn once, professionally dry cleaned, lovely condition. Comes in original Catherine Deane garment bag and with Catherine Deane satin hanger.

This beautiful gown is made of ivory silk, silk tulle and lace, with a soft, fitted bodice with ruching on the bust, satin tie waist, intricate lace back and full, flowing skirt with multiple layers and a small train. The length is ideal either for a bride up to 5'7" tall in flat shoes, or a shorter bride in heels.

The design is named Laverne. Here she is on the official Catherine Deane website: http://shop.catherinedeane.com/products/laverne-long

"Channel 360-degree style with the super-statement, delicate lace back and cap sleeves on the Laverne Gown, while the panelling and ruching sculpt and shape the body, creating a true celebration of the female form. Finished off with a fine silk tulle, free-falling skirt and tie waist, the Laverne Gown is the epitome of effortless elegance."

"Bust cups, soft bodice boning & thin silk satin waist sash
Concealed, invisible centre back zip
Shell: 100% Silk
Lining: 100% Silk"

And via Pinterest's favourite online wedding boutique BHLDN:

"Delicate lace creates windowpane rays at the back of this masterpiece while fluttering cap sleeves, a cinching silk waistband, and a floor-skimming silk tulle skirt lend it a dreamy aura."

The delicate statement back is a proper showstopper, while in front the fluttery cap sleeves, boned bodice and shaped bra cups are super flattering. Floaty tulle overskirt is perfect for swishing around for photos (see picture). There's also a hidden ribbon finger loop to lift the hem a few inches off the dancefloor, should you choose.

Gown comes with the original silk sash belt, as in picture, but would look equally amazing belted with something beaded or sparkly.

The dress has been professionally dry cleaned and stored in its garment bag in a pet-free and smoke-free home.

It is in lovely condition; there is a single, pinhole-like flaw in the tulle layer near the bottom of the skirt (see blue circle in last picture). Very difficult to spot in the draping of the multi-layer skirt but could be mended, and if a shorter bride needed to have the length taken up it would be gone, of course.

Pick up a beautiful bargain, priced low to help fund an imminent honeymoon. Any questions? Need more pics? Drop me a message.
