The Dress
Bhldn ivory Louise tulle skirt and Jaren lace top
I'm selling my beautiful ivory separates set, which would suit a bride looking for a dress which is whimsical and pretty but also practical and comfortable, with no constricting boning or wiring and a breathable silk lining.
I am 1.78m tall (5ft 8in, without shoes) and a UK size 14-16 top and bottom (the listed sizing on the topper was US sizing and a bit different than usual but fitted).
Skirt: Bhldn
- Light and swishy (but not too poofy) ivory tulle skirt without a train.
- Custom-made full-length silk lining behind the tulle.
- Waist has minimal stretch.
- Zip closure with small decorative fabric-covered buttons.
Topper: Bhldn
- dainty, ivory lace, 3/4 length sleeve top with flower fringe detail.
- fringe on the sleeves sways subtly when you move.
- button closure on the back.
- slightly larger than the silk vest underneath, around 100cm / 39 inches at the bust and with a slight stretch to the fabric (but I wouldn't recommend stretching it too much, as the lace design is delicate and some parts are only linked by a few threads and could snap)
Vest: Custom-made by Orhan London Tailoring
- a fitted silk vest with thin straps, created to wear under the see-through topper.
- 93/94cm (approx 36-37inches) at the bust - there is a slight stretch in the silk (max 98cm / 38inches)
The topper and skirt were ordered brand new from Bhldn's US store and posted to the UK. As the skirt was quite see-through, they were taken to Orhan Tailors in London where the skirt was given a full silk lining and a matching silk vest / camisole was made to ensure the separates all worked together. The camisole tucks into the skirt and the topper cascades over the waist line of the skirt, so it feels like a full dress. As the separates are designed to go together, they are not available for separate sale.
The set has been professionally dry cleaned and carefully stored in a protective garment bag since the wedding. The entire set (excluding international shipping and UK customs charges) originally cost £1,217:
Bhldn Louise Tulle Skirt (size 16) - original price $220.00 (£171 at the time)
Bhldn Jaren Topper (size 12) - original price $370.00 (£288 at the time)
Orhan London Tailoring - Custom-made silk skirt lining and silk camisole, minor alterations to sleeves of topper - £758
Alterations
The sleeves were taken in slightly (around 1 cm) as they were very loose on the arms, and the topper was taken in by 1cm on each side.
