Gwendolynne, Hope

Meet Hope, my Gwendolynne couture gown.
I bought her in Melbourne for my wedding in Fiji, August 2014. I changed into a party dress when the night got going to ensure her safety!
Hope has been professionally taken in by a very skilled dress maker. I got her to not cut any fabric off so it may be taken out if needed. Currently she is a small size 10 but can be taken out to about a 12. I lost 8kgs for my wedding and I fitted into it fine when I bought her so that is a substantial weight change. It got Hope taken in 5cm each side at the waist, which is a lot in dress size change but only 2.5cm of fabric at the seam on each edge so she was not ruined.
Hope is in perfect condition and still look like a stunning couture bought new.
I will be getting her dry-cleaned before sold but just wanted to get the listing up for the new year.
Your welcome to come and view her. She is carefully put away in her box but also comes with a large dress bag.
I just loved this dress, I guess you can see why!
I had always intended to sell Hope as I could have never afforded to wear such a stunning Couture gown for my day otherwise. I thought I will never get to wear a dress like this again in my life so I just went for it and I am so glad I did!
I have a matching hair piece clip which I wore as a clip over where the veil slides into your hair, you may have this for free. The veil is also for sale for $100 which I bought from Astra bridal for $160, it is in perfect condition as I only wore it for the ceremony and for some of the photos.

If you wish to view more photo’s please contact me and I can send you a link x.

Gown measures 69cm at the waist currently with a 2cm stretch easily possible - although you can take it out if needed.
If I stand in the shoes I wore I am 1705mm tall with Hope sitting on the floor perfectly.
I am a 12b bust and wore chicken fillets as well to give me a boost up.
