Essense of Australia, D3145

The softest, lightest, comfiest wedding gown! No alterations and never used - purchased as a sample but it just ended up being far too big for me, to the extent that altering it would change the look too much for my preference. Needs minor repairs (it had these flaws when I purchased) - sleeve buttons and small clasps on the back of the dress need to be replaced, and the bra cups need to be retacked or replaced (they can be removed super easily) - things that are often replaced during alterations anyway :) Happy to send photos of these flaws and additional other photos upon request!

Measurements listed are reflective of the dress, not my own (since it doesn't fit me). I'm unsure of the length, but I'm guessing around 58" - suitable up to 5'8", as it was too long for me but didn't feel quite as long as the standard 61" dress. I am 5'4" and not wearing shoes in the photos for reference. Happy to take a tape measurer to the dress upon request to get a better idea. The street size set is my best guess for this dress. I am a size 0-4.

This dress is seriously so soft, weightless, ethereal, and dreamy. It has a SUPER stretchy, comfy fabric underneath which you can see in the photos. Because the lining is more fitted, it creates a really cool illusion with the slim A-Line lace layered onto it. An Autumn or garden/forest wedding would suit this rare discontinued dress perfectly. The nude-toned layer creates a gorgeous look.

From the Essense of Australia website:
"For the boho, ultra-romantic bride with a bit of a wild side, Style D3145 is your bridal match made in heaven! No traditional florals here--the laces on this gown take on a super organic, leaf-like design reminiscent of fresh ivy. The curved V-neckline beautifully highlights the upper body, while the leafy designs shower over the sheer bodice and become slightly more concentrated where you need the most coverage. This wide neckline extends into the long, voluminous sleeves of sheer fabric. Finally, the open V-back and short, manageable train show off your natural beauty and capture your effortless style perfectly."

I paid $1300 for this dress in its current condition just a few months ago, as its original retail price was over $2000 and this dress is now hard to find. The cost to fix the minor flaws should be quite low since these items are often replaced in alterations already. I'm open to offers, so please reach out! I want this dress to go to a good home because it's seriously amazing.
