Wendy Sullivan, Grandeur

Amazing Grandeur gown from Brides Desire by Airs and Graces, at West End in Brisbane. This dress is still currently available in-store.

This ivory taffeta gown has an easily detachable train - giving you two dramatic looks for your big day - you can wear the jaw-dropping train during the ceremony, then remove it to dance the night away at your reception. DON'T BE PUT OFF if you don't like the train, the dress looks COMPLETELY different without it!! I almost didn't buy the dress as I hadn't seen it without the train, and it was a last minute decision to wear it on the day!

The dress is strapless, with a beautiful princess-style flowing skirt. The top layer of the skirt can be adjusted to 'flow' how you prefer. There is a bunch of small roses and crystals hanging from the right hip of the gown, which are also detachable if you choose not to wear them.

The dress is tagged as a size 6, but will very easily fit a size 8-10. I was a small size 10 when wearing the dress. The lace-up corset bodice is boned to provide a flattering fit. The modesty 'flap' beneath where the dress is laced up was modified - moved across, to allow more room in the dress, and therefore fits a larger size, without any skin showing in the back once laced up. There are beautiful Swarovski crystals on the bodice. The dress will require a hoop, preferably a 2 or 3 ringed hoop for the most dramatic effect.

I purchased the dress for $2400. The dress was worn once and is in excellent condition. It has been professionally dry cleaned and boxed, which cost $400, so it is now ready to go for your special day! Regretful sale but I'd love for someone else to feel as special as I did while wearing it!

The dress looks absolutely AMAZING in photographs.

Feel free to email me for more photographs or further details. Pick up from the Ipswich area would be preferred.
