The Dress

This Antonio Riva Perla Gown is absolutely stunning and is in perfect condition. It has not been worn. It has a Silk Mikado ruched bodice above the the classic Silk Organza full a-line skirt and holds a (detachable) dramatic asymmetrical bow in the back, which gives this stunning gown a jaw-dropping effect.

Antonio Riva's ‘Petals’ collection was recently named the Bridal Collection of the Year at Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week.

I also have the new (never been worn) 2019 Caroline Castigliano 118 inch veil from UK, which was purchased to wear with this gown.

Alterations

The gown is an original Italian size 6. It has been taken in to accommodate a US Size 2/4. The fabric has been tucked into the lining instead of being cut in order to allow for additional alterations. Removable C cups have been inserted for additional support, as well as a 3-tiered hook and eye elastic strap around the bust/back. The bow fastens by three individual snaps in order to hold its gorgeous, asymmetrical, fashion forward shape. A bustle consisting of one button has been added, as well as three small fabric loops down the train to raise the fabric off of the floor for dancing!

Alterations were an additional $1,665 which is not reflected in the retail price.

I love this gown so much, was never able to wear it but my wedding plans changed due to covid.
