UPDATE: I've significantly dropped the price because I'd like to sell this dress on. It's really gorgeous, I felt like a princess in it. It's light and comfortable and so flattering.

Claire Pettibone Ginseng dress from their 2011 collection. I bought it new in 2012 directly from the flagship in Los Angeles. I really enjoyed wearing this on my wedding day. It was so comfortable, light, and moved really well.

This dress is a v-neck, mermaid sheath, with a slight fishtail, overlaid with embroidered lace, that has tiny sequins sewn into it, so the dress shimmers as you walk. The dress has a plunging v at at the back, which is really flattering. The material is unusual, it has a subtle sparkle, but doesn't look fussy. The fit is gorgeous, even though it's a fishtail, it didn't feel constrictive.

A few days after the wedding, I had it professionally dry cleaned and vacuum sealed by a professional wedding dress dry cleaner. It has no marks or stains or tears, I checked it before sending it off.

This listing does NOT include the sheer cape pictured in the catwalk and Rock my Dress images. I am only selling the dress, not the cape or veil.

Please feel free to ask questions. I am based in Wandsworth Common/Balham for collection, or it's quite light in the vacuum pack, so I could look into postage if you'd like me to send it to you.

Alterations

Made small alterations at the bust (I am a 34A, for reference) and added pads so that I could go braless on the day. The alterations were done really well, didn't need any tape to hold the dress in place. It has all the original sequin detail, the shoulder detail is delicate and gorgeous.

I also took up the front (not the back, it still has a short train), so that I wouldn't step on the dress. I am 165cm and I wore 3 inch heels.
