The Dress

Exquisite Oscar de la Renta wedding gown. Ivory tulle trumpet gown with lace overlay and hand embroidered crystals. Lace has been custom created for the dress by Oscar de la Renta - the workmanship is superb. There are subtle silver toned Swarovski crystals sewn onto the lace.

Very flattering sillouhette - lower at the back and delicate trumpet style that flares out gently above the knee. Outer layer of tule appears to float above the rest of the dress for a whimsical effect. Built in corset.

Dress was bought from David Jones in Sydney and has never been worn. Dress was bought as a sample - size 10 to 12. You may see in the pictures that the dress is too big for me, I did not get to the stage of having it altered to fit my body. I am generally a size 8 so naturally a dress 1-2 sizes too big for me is not so flattering in these pictures! However when the dress was pinched in with clips to fit my body it looked so flattering - perfect combination of a little bit sexy but still so elegant and ethereal and timeless.

As it is a sample and so heavily discounted there is a small area in the lace overlay at the back of the dress (near your ribs) that has come apart (obviously where the sales associate has clipped the dress on brides) - I took it to the dressmaker that David Jones recommends and they said this is very easily mended (and will be undetectable). This particular dressmaker quoted me a maximum of approximately $500 to repair the lace (this is a high end seamstress, I'm sure it can be mended by any seamstress for much less). In very good condition otherwise, as has never been worn, only tried on.

I was absolutely blown away by this dress, having tried MANY on at all high end boutiques!! I found this dress to look very high end and unique, not tacky at all yet still sexy. When you see the detailing up close you understand why Oscar de la Renta is so famous and why these dresses are so expensive! I would love it to be used on someone else's happy day.
