The Dress

Something swirly and sensational! The Hayley Paige Mercury Gown has textural warped embroidery, jewel neckline, open keyhole back, and cascading embroidered skirt with horsehair trim.

I loved this dress, but I never got to wear it (it's been safely stored and untouched since its purchase in 2019). It's a sample that barely anyone tried on (I only got to try it on twice), unaltered, and it was kept on a mannequin for display. No flaws that I can tell, but by nature of it being a sample it's not a factory fresh gown. As you can see in the pictures, they added a lot of pins to make it fit me while I tried it on, so it has a lot of room/ fabric for your tailor to fit it to you!

"I wanted something out of a space fantasy. The 'Mercury' gown is a bit of a textural sonnet. The warped embroidery is hand-stitched and inspired by a ride on Space Mountain while listening to 'Bohemian Rhapsody'." - Hayley Paige

It truly is a special dress that made me feel like a couture bride.
