The gown is a VW US size 4, ivory with blush beading. I normally wear a Australian size 8, sometimes 6. All the alternations on the gown are just temporary, the gown can be changed back to its original size and lengths. I only wore the gown for the church ceremony and indoor location shoot, so it is about 5 hours. The gown is in very very good condition.

I had my alternation with Sew Special, they are the appointed alternation service by VW Sydney. The gown will be also sent to professional dry clean by VW's appointed dry cleaner right after the wedding.

I am also selling the gown with a Vera Wang 2-tier Cathedral Veil (dark ivory), the veil is free if you are also buying the gown, otherwise it's $120. I also have a designer hairpiece from Viktoria Novak (style name: Ashanti) for sell too, please feel free to contact me for more information.

The gown will be ready in mid Nov 2013. For Sydney based bride, we can arrange a time to meet up and pick up the gown. Free shipping can also arrange for other domestic locations.

(This is what VW wrote about the gown on her blog:

There are so many beautiful aspects to the Gemma gown. Perhaps the most otherworldly element is the ethereal combination of French tulle and organza, something you wouldn’t expect in a gown with such a defined mermaid silhouette.

Between the blossoms and the beading, there’s certainly a pageantry in the base of this gown. It’s an absolute celebration of volume that is meant to be very dramatic, with the fantasy of a ball gown and the sensuousness of a mermaid gown combined. If you desire even more drama, a bride might choose to add a sequined belt for just a little flicker of beading, to really highlight the waist. Combined with the shimmer of sequins in the cut blossoms of the skirt, it’s a very dynamic look from every angle.)

I truly agree with this. I felt in love with Gemma when I saw the photo on VW website. It is so soft, so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes away. I knew that this is THE GOWN when I first put it on in the VW Sydney boutique. I tried several other gowns on the day, but with Gemma, I didn't wanna put it down and change back to my own clothes: it is just so beautiful! The gown fits very comfortably and very light, and looks divine with the veil!

I hope you will love Gemma and take her home!!
