I fell in love with this sample dress, but due to change in wedding venue I ended up needing a different style, so the dress was never worn outside of the shop and my house. The seamstress was so talented and took this size 10 sample gown to fit me at size 0 and 5ft3in, and as you can see in the pictures it fit like a glove. I felt so elegant in this dress, and I know it will be perfect for someone's special evening. Because of the tailoring from a large size and the fact that the dress style is no longer listed on Essence of Australia (I think this dress was made in 2015-I bought it as a sample in 2016), I am listing this dress for much less than I think it is worth--it would be such a shame for this dress to sit in a closet forever, it is simply gorgeous.
The dress has a French bustle and cups placed. Bodice fabric is "oyster" colored satin with wonderfully soft and airy chiffon for the skirt that I would describe as a warm stone color (almost blush color in certain light). When you walk, the chiffon moves beautifully.
