The Dress

Ivory Oleg Cassini beaded lace overlay trumpet/mermaid gown with train. Lace is white, and tops an ivory satin lining. Neckline was modified from straight to sweetheart (see photos) and dress was hemmed (lace was not cut—was removed and reattached to keep beautiful scalloped detail.) I’m 5’5 and wore 1” heels. Can be altered down if necessary. Is set up for a French bustle as well. Purchased in 2010 for $1,400. Just had it dry cleaned again. One small grass stain underneath lining (so the part that touches the ground, completely non visible.) In excellent used condition, and a very timeless, romantic style! Listing includes two ivory veils (one cathedral length and one shorter, two tier) and a simple garter. Perfect, classic gown for a bride on a budget, second wedding (or second dress change,) destination wedding, etc!

Alterations

Hemmed (original lace re-worked/reattached, so as not to lose the detailed scalloped edge,) neckline taken from straight to sweetheart, and set up for French bustle
