Essense of Australia

Traditional off white, ball gown by Essense Of Australia.

2 piece crosette bodice and box pleat skirt with approx. 2m train. The boddice attaches to the skirt once it has been put on, this does not allow any movement between the 2 and ensures the dress is always in line. Also included is a princess 3 hooped petticoat and veil.

Both the bodice and skirt are made of Duchess Satin in off white. Beautiful Swarovski Crystal detail around the top of the corsette, cascading down - front and back. Also Swarovski Crystal cascading down on the inside of the box pleats of the skirt. There is also large Swarovski Crystal buttons down the back of the corsette, with an underlying zip. 1 button is missing but can easilly be reordered from any Swarovski Crystal stockist.

The skirt has its own tulle attached to the inside of the skirt. The petticoat consists of 3 soft hoops and layers of tulle, this together with the tulle under the skirt ensures that the hoops are not visible through the skirt, or at the hem line.

This dress has had some sizing alterations done to it, 1 of the alterations i had made to the dress was the bustle additions. Consisting of 3 sections of the dress that can be taken up quickly to avoid having to drag around the train unnessisarily - expecially if it rains. Once bustled this dress gives a over bustle look, making the hem one length all the way around, and turning it into a traditional ball gown.

The veil is waist lenght, 2 tiers made of off white bridal tulle on a comb. Edges are cut in inverted scallops finished with off white satin trim and drop beads on the points.

This is a regretfull sale. I no longer have room for it, there is no bad carma attached to this dress.
