Jenny Packham Eden in Ivory (me size 10, label size 12)

I am selling my beautiful 1920's inspired Jenny Packham Eden Dress in Ivory. The dress comes in two parts with a comfortable a silk charmeuse bias-cut slip which has adjustable thin straps and a lightweight tulle sheer over dress with hand-sewn glass beading and crystals. This dress is extremely light and comfortable to wear and it flows beautifully when you walk.

As sad as I will be to see this dress go, I would much prefer this dress gets worn again by someone who loves it as much as I do. I felt so beautiful wearing this dress, ‘ethereal, delicate and elegant’. Everyone at the wedding kept asking me about my dress, saying that they’d never seen such a beautiful dress, it was wonderful!

The dress is in excellent condition. It has been worn once for my wedding in October 2016 and was professionally dry cleaned immediately afterwards at a Jenny Packham approved specialist at a cost of £200. The dress was then stored in a wedding dress box with fresh acid free tissue. The protective storage bag is included as well as spare beading for any repairs. I had planned to keep the dress as I have never owned something so beautiful and had hoped to wear it again. However we are planning to move to Spain in the New Year so sadly I will let go of it for someone else to enjoy.

I am 5 foot 5 inches and wore 3 inch heels with this dress, so that it just skimmed the ground as I walked. Label says 12 but I am a size 10 in high street clothes. The dress was still fairly fitted but not too clingy (see pictures). With draping that makes it body hugging but not restrictive, it is flattering to all body shapes. The Eden dress has been discontinued and is now no longer available to purchase. The last few remaining dresses retailed at £3200.

To give you an idea of the fit of the dress, my measurements are:
Waist: 26/ 27 inches; Thighs: 37/ 38 inches; Bust: 32/ 33 inches; Height: 5 foot 4 inches; Heels worn on the day: 3 inches

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I live in Sydenham, London and would be happy for anyone who is interested to come and have a look at the dress and try it on.
