The Dress

I bought two dresses online from British designer Raishma. She is an award-winning couturier and has a shop in London, and more recently started a ready to wear line, including a bridal dress collection.

One dress was "the one" and fit perfectly, and this is the other dress. It's absolutely beautiful, but I ended up wanting a more wide/ballgown skirt. It’s a glamorous, heavily hand-beaded white gown with a modest neckline (great for a woman with a larger bust because a bra can be worn) with a flattering cut. The dress has some stretch/give and the detailed beading camouflages any imperfections. I noticed one piece of string was loose lower on the dress (shown in photo) and some beads fell off of it, but the store provided a packet of additional beads with purchase—so it’s very easy to fix. No stains or tears or damage—it’s a brand new dress. Regular price $675, I bought it on sale for $300, but didn't make the return deadline. So, I'm selling it here for an even lower price. It's an amazing deal for a really lovely dress.
