Kelsey Rose, Vivian

Kelsey Rose Vivian a-line satin wedding dress. Label is size 12 but has been altered by a qualified seamstress to fit 5ft 4inch plus heels size 8. Details of alterations below.

Vivian is the epitome of the modern, clean bride with its unique silhouette and lightweight satin fabric. Highlighting the waist, its knotted waistline connects with a plunge neckline with strategic folds and pleats. Its halter neckline is completed with a wrap around tie detail at the neck making a modern yet elegant statement finishing in a dramatic train.

Worn once for around 4 hours and in excellent condition save for some minor snags to the lower parts of the dress where my heels got caught and some very minor/faint liquid stains that didn’t fully come out when cleaned. I have tried to show a selection of these in the photos and videos, but they aren’t really noticeable when the dress is on, particularly if you’re wearing a veil.

For the small heel snags, there are around 12 on the lower back and 6 on the lower front - in the video, I’ve tried to show the biggest collection of them to the back, bottom right of the dress, then there are isolated, less noticeable ones elsewhere. For the liquid stains, there’s a little smattering (in video) to the bottom of the ties and a couple of small isolated stains to the lower back of the main dress. There are also some tiny pulls to the fabric at the hem and one on the bust, but you wouldn’t notice these unless you inspected up close.

Also have the veil still if interested but this has a hole in the bottom where someone else stood on it.

Sold as seen as have been open about the flaws, so you are buying it on that basis and accepting of all these things. It’s a beautiful dress and would make a perfect, more affordable option for a bride that is willing to look past these minor things that really no one will notice. Also, what I quickly learnt, is dresses get dirty or marked the moment you step down the aisle, so it’s not really worth spending a fortune on a brand new dress!
