This dress is brand new as the wedding was cancelled.

It is called the 'Deluxe Cassandra' and differs to the regular 'Cassandra' (see attached image of the Cassandra with the dark background) as the beading, Swarovski crystals & lace is much more extensive (about 2 to 3 times the amount of the Cassandra) and runs down through the back of the skirt. But the magazine cover image does not do the dress any justice and in reality it sparkles and is breathtaking. It is a champagne colour which magnifies the beauty of the lace and crystal work, with an almost 3D effect. The bulk of the crystal work runs diagonally across the bodice which is not apparent in the photo.

It is the actual dress worn by the model on the cover of Queensland Brides. Made by Wendy Sullivan personally (made in Australia whereas her other dresses are made in Asia & she only designs them) for the RAQ Fashion Awards. Also it is one of a kind - this design is not mass produced.

Size 8 but due to adjustable ribbon back, fits size 10 (I am size 10).
