Berta "22-09" — Strapless Mermaid Gown with 3D Floral Lace, Como Collection

PRICE NEGOTIABLE- hoping to sell to the next bride! This is the Berta 22-09 from the Como collection. It's a strapless sweetheart bodice with internal boning, fully covered in 3D floral lace appliqués over nude illusion tulle, fitted through a clean mermaid silhouette with a train. It includes a detachable cathedral-length overskirt for a ball-gown look during the ceremony, switching to the sleek mermaid silhouette for the reception.

Being a "Berta Bride" was always my dream, and this dress delivered. The detachable overskirt gave me a princess moment for the ceremony, then came off for a sleek reception look. The dress has boning on the bodice so I had no problem with it falling down throughout the wedding. The weight sits at the hips so I was able to wear this comfortably for ~5 hours before changing to my second look. The dress has been thoroughly dry cleaned and stored in a cool, indoor closet.

Best suited for someone 5'5" with a petite frame — I'm 5'1" and wore it with 3.5" heels, with enough extra length left to fully cover my shoes. It's listed as EU40, but go by measurements, not the tag: I'm normally a 2-4 and it fit like a 4-6 after alterations.

Sad to let this beauty go, but excited for another bride to have her dream-dress moment!
