The Dress
I felt like a bohemian princess in this two-piece ensemble on my wedding day six months ago.
It perfectly suited my rustic vibe, and felt a little less conventional than a typical wedding dress. While I am still in love with both pieces, it felt like the right time to give another bride the chance to wear this gorgeous, one-of-a-kind combination.
The skirt is the Catherine Deane "Mystery" skirt and the top is the BHLDN "Monaco" topper. Both items were altered to fit my exact measurements listed.The top fits like a second-skin, with a slightly looser bottom hem to accentuate your waist. The skirt hugs the waist but flows out in a soft A-line and creates a stunning twirl when dancing.
Both pieces are in great condition. The bottom button loop on the top is slightly stretched but still 100% functional. The skirt had a minor repair at the back from a small tear on the day, but a seamstress fixed this so it is unnoticeable. I am happy to send you photos to ensure you are happy with the overall look.
I would like to sell these items together but I will consider selling them separately. I bought the top for $540.00 AU and so I am selling it here for $340.00 AU. I bought the skirt for $1200.00 AU and am selling for $799.00 AU.
For in-depth details on the sizing, description and alterations, please read below:
The top has been made smaller (originally bought it in a size US 12, and got it professionally taken in to fit a size AU 12 - basically down a full size as I have F cup boobs but a small waist). I also wanted it to be a crop style so there would be a gap between the top hem and the skirt waist band, so it has been shortened. It would fit a larger AU 10 or a standard AU 12. Minor wear on button hooks at the bottom (light stretching) but all still functional and lovely-looking.
The skirt was ordered in a size UK 10 (= AU 10) and it was taken in a little on the waist. There was also a small repair done at the back of the dress as I had a minor tear happen on the day. It has been fixed seamlessly however and it is in excellent condition - no stains, tears, dirt or issues. The skirt has two layers - a translucent silk shell and a polyester lining with satin waistband. It is listed online as ivory but it does have a slight touch of oyster - however in photographs it comes up as a bright ivory white (as seen in my photographs).
SKIRT DESCRIPTION (From Catherine Deane website):
Double slit edges lined by scalloped lace reveal and accentuate a flattering silhouette through movement to give the silk chiffon Mystery Skirt her much earned name. Finished with a small train, this is a style that will have you strutting down the aisle. Satin waistband, Shell: 100% Silk | Lining: 100% Polyester. Dry clean only.
TOPPER DESCRIPTION (From the BHLDN website):
With a high-neckline and long sleeves, this unlined lace topper is a sophisticated addition to any bridal look; a row of covered buttons gives the back a classic finish. Made in USA, dry clean only. 100% polyester.
Thanks,
Emily
