The Dress

Justin Alexander Silk Dupion A-Line with Deep V-Back and V-Neckline

This dramatic silk dupion ball gown has a deep V-neckline, delicate spaghetti straps, deep V-back and hidden pockets.

I wore to my wedding in Rome last Summer and have some lovely memories of wearing it. Although I am attached to it, I think it would be nice to give it a second life rather than leave it hanging in my cupboard.

It has been professionally cleaned by Terrington Burchett though some small stains remain at the bottom of the dress and some very small ones at the front of the dress (please see photos).

It was bought at Angelica Bridal in Angel and altered by Exclusive Alterations in Islington.

Please note that it comes without the bow. I paired it with the Terani Couture Palmer Cape instead and it looked beautiful! Here's a link, if you're curious :)https://www.bhldn.com/products/palmer-cape?via=Z2lkOi8vdXJibi9Xb3JrYXJlYTo6Q2F0YWxvZzo6Q2F0ZWdvcnkvQkE0NDQ4MkU

Price: 600GBP + postage

Alterations

It was originally a US size 6/Uk size 10 but I had the bodice and waist taken out slightly (2 3/4 inches at op of zip and 2 inches at waist). It now fits someone who is a bigger 34B/smaller34C and closer to a 12 in waist. Please see photos.
