Obviously worn once. This dress produced gasps and is still being talked about now. I felt so wonderful in it
I believe it was a size 8 originally but I had it altered. I was approx a size 6 on the day.
It has not been dry cleaned so there are stains on inside material that can be seen on outside. Personally I would say they are not obvious until close inspection.
The embellishments have come away in several places. Such as the long lengths of beads predominant in the dress. And as per the pic the back, bottom has tangled. I have left it because I felt a seamstress would be better at untangling.
Although it needs a good amount of TLC it is still a beautiful dress and will look amazing on someone else.
This dress cost about £3000 with alteration so definitely needs to be showcased again. The designer has now died. Happy to send more pictures because you are only allowed a select few on here.
To measure I had to lay dress flat so I have measured across the front. Bust from side hem to side hem is approx 38cm. Waist I measured directly under belt. Again seam to seam 32cm
Length was from shoulder strap to lowest point (sequins rather than skirt) approx 152cm
