The Dress

This gown has been designed by Suzanna Blazevic – Personalised Weddings Couture (Award Winning Designer).
The original owner that I purchased this gown from never wore it as she eloped, she paid $4,000 for it!
I got the honour of wearing this as my second wedding gown to my reception only for a few short hours. Gown has been stored in an acid-free preservation box to prevent yellowing/sagging (only on hanger for photos).

Gown features an ivory strapless bodice in super smooth pure silk that is heavily encrusted with swarovski crystals, over a full box-pleat zip on skirt with a bustle feature at the back secured by 3 covered buttons. No bra is required, has cups sewn inside.
The skirt alone is made with over 20 metres of silk, the quality is in the weight of this gown with layers of tulle underneath to create the fullest skirt. No hoop is needed (although I actually wore a small hoop to bring out the extra fullness - hoop not included).
Size 8 (I was between an 8/10 but fitted due to corset back. The original owner said it can fit a size 6 as well). Made to suit 173cm tall not including high heels. I am approx. 5'4" or 163cm and I wore low heels with this and it was still slightly long. If I had worn higher heels, length probably would have been perfect!
This gown is made with quality workmanship and materials, original owner mentioned that it can be altered to fit by a dressmaker.
You will notice in the photos that the neckline of the bodice is on an angle and not straight across, which makes an interesting statement. It may have been made this way to accomodate for it being worn as a one shoulder gown (see alterations note below) or strapless.

Long veil included with silk ivory gloves to match gown. Comes in Preservation box.

The gown was removed from the box to take pictures and there is some yellowing under the arms and on a small area on the bottom of the gown. I do have photos of this but was only able to upload 4 photos. The skirt has been dry cleaned but I didn't do the top as it was kept clean on the day. If you wanted to, you could take it to a dry cleaners to be inspected before being cleaned due to crystals, one tag does recommend not to spot clean though.
The preservation box prevents yellowing and features a a viewing window, comes with layers of acid-free tissue inside. Please be aware that the box does have some marks/small dents due to storage, which in no way affects the gown. A quote would need to be obtained by yourself from a courier for collection, I will provide size & weight etc. I would be happy to offer local pickup if that helps.

It's time for this amazing gown to be worn again by a very special bride and enjoy this gown as much as I did, it will make you feel like a princess! You will receive many compliments and sure to bring a smile to your face.

Feel free to contact me for more Information on the gown, I am more than happy to help:)

Alterations

When I purchased this gown, there is actually one strap that has had the crystals removed (used to be a one shoulder gown)so I tucked this inside the bodice to make it strapless. You could have some crystals re-sewn on the strap to make it back to a one shoulder gown if you wished.
