Essense of Australia, d2972

Timeless elegance: This Essense of Australia D2972 dress in soft crepe fabric features a striking fit and flare silhouette. The V-neckline adds a touch of allure and is beautifully complemented by long sleeves that offer both sophistication and comfort. It’s been professionally cleaned, and there are no stains.

The dress's button detailing on both the back/train and the sleeves (first 4" up from each wrist) are my favorite details. The V-back design adds a modern twist, making the dress both romantic and chic.

The dress is originally sized as a 10 but was taken in an expert seamstress with over 40 years of experience. Measurements reflect these changes. She also added a bustle, which is shown in the last photo. It has been lovingly cared for and is ready for another bride.

This is the designer's original description: Simple yet completely elevated, this long-sleeved wedding dress was made for the fashion-forward bride. Noticeable contour seaming takes this sheath gown of soft crepe to the next level, enhancing your shape like never before. A skinny plunge neckline is striking yet modest, with illusion tulle hinting at just enough skin for a tasteful touch of sexiness. The open V-back is completely classic, and meets just above the fabric-covered buttons running the length of the light, supple train. The detachable fabric belt adds a final touch of tradition that brings this bridal gown from on-trend to utterly timeless.
