The Dress

Worn once for a few hours, in immaculate condition and > 50% off. The detail breathtaking!

Purchased directly from Vera Wang’s Madison Ave Flagship store!!! I was one of the first to wear this new design on my wedding in May. I had VW make the dress with the strap detachable so I had the option to wear it with or without for different parts of the day. (Chrissy Teigen wore the Kirsten in red to her wedding also without the strap) The Kirsten is a form-fitting Vera Wang gown that is strapless and features a spectacular skirt that begins mid-thigh and flows out into a train. If you Google the dress, you will see a lot of pictures in red but although I may be a bit untraditional, my gown is IVORY. I have the original receipt and all the original garment bags and hangers.

Happy for girls to try on the dress (obviously) and to consider offers.

In Kirsten, you have a bodice fashioned from layer after layer of razor-cut bias tulle and organza, cut and arranged in what we call a flange technique, which creates all of these gorgeous flourishes throughout every angle of the dress. I’ve used this flange technique in previous collections, and absolutely love it: the way it turns a layer of fabric into almost a painter’s brushstroke. There are so many layers, and they’re inter-related in so many minute patterns throughout the space of the bodice, that they take on this exciting new texture, like a new fabric in itself. You can see how the “brushstrokes” cover the bride, from hip to waist, shoulder to hip, painting her figure in all of these incredibly delicate touches. The fabric in the bodice is soft, and it gathers you in, wraps you up in all of this play of light and shadow. I just love being able to create something like this, and I love when brides respond to it: it’s not traditional, it’s not storybook romantic, and it isn’t something you come across in the ordinary wedding. It’s a bold, gorgeously modern creation
