The Dress

Bhldn ivory Louise tulle skirt and Jaren lace top

I'm selling my beautiful ivory separates set, which would suit a bride looking for a dress which is whimsical and pretty but also practical and comfortable.

The separates set consists of a swishy (but not too poofy) ivory tulle skirt (no train) with a custom-made full silk lining, a silk vest and an ivory lace topper with flower fringe detail. The fringe sways subtly when you move, and the silk vest and skirt are comfortable to wear for hours as the silk is light and there is no constricting boning or wiring. I am 1.78m tall (without shoes) and a UK size 14-16 top and bottom (the listed sizing on the topper was a bit different than usual but fitted me in the end).

The topper and skirt were ordered new from Bhldn's US store in August 2018 and posted to the UK. As the skirt was quite see-through, they were taken to Orhan Tailors in London where the skirt was given a full silk lining and a matching silk vest / camisole was made to ensure the separates all worked together. The camisole tucks into the skirt and the topper cascades over the waist line of the skirt, so it feels like a full dress.

The set has been professionally dry cleaned and carefully stored in a garment bag since the wedding. The entire set (excluding international shipping and UK customs charges) originally cost ‭£1,217‬.

Alterations

The sleeves were taken in slightly (around 1 cm) as they were very loose, and the topper was taken in by 1cm on each side.
