The Dress

This is a Lillian West Beaded Bikini NeckIine Ball Gown with a Tulle Handkerchief skirt in Ivory/Ivory/Nude. I chose this gorgeous gown because when I wore it, I felt so much like an actual royal princess that I cried. The illusion bodice and plunging neckline made me feel sexy but still elegant and not too uncovered. The beaded embroidery was so beautiful, I fell in love instantly. I had custom straps made with more embellishment to match the bodice. The soft layers of tulle made for a beautiful handkerchief look, and created absolutely outstanding photos. Even making the decision to sell this gown tears at my heart strings, but I truly believe this dress should be worn and loved by someone else, and have another day in the sun, rather than sit in a box. The dress is surprisingly lightweight and wore comfortably the entire evening.

The dress is in perfect condition and has been professionally dry cleaned with only hemming and the straps as an alteration. I replaced the original straps with a beaded strap that matches the lace bodice and falls in a v formation as shown in the photos. I have also included spare straps of a plain ivory tulle should you wish to switch them out. You can choose whichever straps you prefer, they are easily changed. The dress was hemmed to my height 5', and I was wearing 2 inch heeled shoes. It has a sweep train.

Alterations

Beaded Straps were custom tailored in a v shape as shown in the photos. I have included extra spare straps in color ivory tulle. The dress was hemmed to fit myself wearing 2 inch heels. I am 150cm tall.
