The Dress

Tash (Silk Tulle)
From Gossamer Collection
(Description of dress taken from the Anna Campbell Website)

Inspired by French romance, the Gossamer collection is the epitome of timeless, classic elegance and is designed to create a beautiful silhouette for the bride seeking to embody both grace and glamour. Modern flourishes are met with opulent fabrics, vintage touches and the finest of lace. The collection features the intricate detailing and delicate handcrafted embellishments Anna Campbell’s creations are renowned for.
Hand sewn crystal beading and stunning silk flowers gently weave from the waist line of the 'Tash', softly decorating the decolletage before cascading down the back to finish with a perfect bow. A full flowing skirt of silk tulle skims across the figure, making this the dress for the truly sweet and romantic at heart.
The dress was handmade in Melbourne, it has a 100% silk, bust and lining with Silk tulle skirt. Hand beaded embellishment as seen in photos. Shaped sweetheart bust with padding and tulle train with bustle.

I purchased the dress via the Coco & Kate store in Warwickshire for £2000. I was awe-struck when I discovered the Anna Campbell range; the dresses are truly stunning, with guests at my wedding stating it was the most beautiful and unique wedding dress they'd ever seen. This dress was the one for me; I had it made in the ivory colour and the comfort was out of this world - the dress felt so comfortable all day and I felt like a million dollars - the dress, in my opinion, is a one-off; a very unusual, eye-catching piece, and I really didn't want to take it off!

We were married on a farm in Cornwall on a very wet July day last month. Therefore, the staining on the dress was unavoidable with the muddy lanes and ground underfoot. However, as described above, all staining should be able to be easily removed via dry-cleaning, and the small hole should be easily repaired. i really am reluctant to sell it, however, our honeymoon plans need funding and I would love for someone else to feel the same joy that I did wearing it!

I am 5ft 7in and wore 8cm heels; this dress could be easily shortened for a smaller lady. The dress has an elasticated waist, with ties in which you can pull tight around the waist, therefore the Medium size would fit from a size 10-14 (I am 10 top and 12 bottom). The dress also has the most incredible train (as you can see in the photos) but this can be hooked up onto the back of the dress for dancing (or, if you have bad weather like we did!)

Price I paid was £2000. I am listing this dress at £700 but I am open to offers. More photos available on request.

Collection in person or can be delivered within UK via Royal Mail.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Worn once for my wedding day (29th July 2017). Beading is in perfect condition (dress will come with a pack of beads and embellishments too), as is the top and main body of the dress. The dress has not been dry-cleaned; the silk lining is lightly stained as is the silk tulle around the bottom, including the train. There is one small hole at the very bottom of the front of the dress and two small pink stains from confetti on the side of the dress at the bottom. Other than the staining (which I have been informed by Coco & Kate, where I purchased the dress, should be easily removed via dry-cleaning) and the small hole, which again, I have been informed is easily fixable and shouldn't be noticeable once repaired, the dress is in perfect condition.
