Truvelle, Mahsa

I’m selling my beautiful Truvelle Mahsa gown—this dress was so special to wear and honestly unlike anything else I tried on. The fabric is what completely sold me: a stunning paper bloom jacquard with the most incredible texture and subtle shine that catches the light in such a unique way. It feels modern but still romantic and timeless.

The bodice is structured and boned with a built-in corset back, which cinches the waist and makes it feel really secure and flattering. It has a soft sweetheart neckline and a full skirt with a dramatic train that looks amazing in photos. There’s also a thigh-high slit (which made it so much easier to move, sit, and dance), plus hidden pockets—which I loved more than I expected.

I had custom detachable off-the-shoulder straps made, which hook on and off easily, so you can switch up the look throughout the day. I wore it both ways and loved having that flexibility. It also has a bustle and wrist loop already added as well.

I originally purchased the dress second-hand and had it professionally altered to fit me. It has since been dry cleaned and any small imperfections from the wedding have been repaired.
