The Dress

Great condition! I love this dress so much and hope to find another bride who will love it just as much as I do. The dress was perfect for my mountaintop elopement. I have received so many compliments about my dress. The dress was worn once for my September 2021 elopement that was 2 hours long, then again, the same evening, for 2-3 hours to take photos. No stains are present. Very minor thread pulling is present, but not visible unless you are inspecting the dress up close. When photos were being taken, a tear in the tulle (located at the front of the dress, near the lace on the lower portion of the dress) occurred. The tear has been professionally repaired and is no longer visible (I am unable to find where the tear occurred unless I carefully feel for the repair - I would be happy to send you a picture of where the dress was torn and what the repair looks like up close on the inside and outside of the tulle). The dress was professionally dry cleaned about a month after the wedding. The dress has been kept in its dry cleaning bag and garment bag.

Please reach out if you would like to see more pictures of the dress from our elopement and/or any other details of the dress.

Description of the dress from the Essense of Australia website:

STRAPLESS SWEETHEART FIT-AND-FLARE WEDDING DRESS WITH GRAPHIC LACE
All about that graphic lace, this strapless wedding gown is a sheer masterpiece. Side cutouts and a sheer bodice set the stage for negative space detailing throughout the gown, which flows throughout the silhouette for modern dimension. Linear detailing along the strapless bodice and skinny plunge neckline highlight your shape in this fit-and-flare wedding dress, while the laces are thoughtfully cut along the waist to accentuate the curves. The full, scallop lace hemline is created with horsehair to help create a true floating look—complemented by the traditional train styling with a finished edge.

Alterations

The dress was professionally altered. The dress was hemmed to fit my 5’7” height in 3" heels. The dress was taken in to fit my measurements and fits me comfortably. Push up bra cups were added. The lace, off the shoulder straps were added and could be removed if desired. A bustle was also added so you can dance the night away!
