The Dress

Selling a 2018 Ashley Justin (10551) dress in a size 6 with minimal alterations. I am 5'6 and typically wear a size 4-6, S-M. The dress was ordered in ivory/ivory, the underlay and the sequin lace are both ivory.

The lace overlay of the dress is entirely made of ivory sequins. The train is about ____ feet long (alteration done by professional*). The underlay on the back portion of the dress cuts lower, with the sequin lace overlay cutting higher, an elegant touch. The subtle band of ivory ribbon (alteration done by professional*) around the smallest part of the waist really helped shape the dress without looking bulky. I received and still receive so many compliments on this dress. It was worn and loved once for about 8 hours for photos, ceremony, reception, first dance. This dress has been professional dry cleaned by all natural/organic ingredients. Looks brand new!

The dress shown on the website is “ivory/nude” with the underlay being more of a sand color. The ivory of the sequin lace is what I would refer to as more “pure white” rather than an off white. The ivory underlay is what I would consider a true ivory, a slightly more creamy white without appearing yellow. The subtle contrast between the two layers allows the sequin lace to stand out.

There are quite a few layers under the sequin lace, with a satin layer closest to your body. There is some boning around the cups and rib cage area that stops at the band of jewels. There is a very thin layer of mesh in the deepest part of the V neck just to hold its shape. The back zips up. I would estimate that the dress probably weighs about 5 lbs. A french bustle was professionally sewn in just below the bum, so the train of the dress easily buttons up for the reception.
