Beautiful Maggie Sottero 'Blakely' beaded fishtail gown, from Fall 2013 season. The lavish embroidery and sparkling beads of this fit and flare gown capture the dramatic flair of a bygone era. Finished with scalloped illusion neckline, it features a beautiful button-over-zipper back closure. This dress glamourously enhances a natural pear shape and the beaded illusion back is stunning. I felt amazing in the dress and it was easy to dance in!

Authentic: The dress comes with a certificate of authenticity, the original white dress bag and a pair of white gloves for careful handing.

As new condition: Worn once; on my wedding day in October 2014. Professionally cleaned by Tails the Drycleaner two weeks after wedding day.

Purchased as US Size 8 in ‘Regular Length’, however altered professionally through ‘Bridal Alterations’, Sylvania Waters to fit my measurements; Bust: 84cm (this is my bust measurement), Waist: 79cm (at belly button), Hips: 92cm, at thighs 103cm. I'm 166cm tall and the length was perfect for me with beaded flats. I had padded bra cups added – so if all other measurements fit but you are a bigger B or even a C cup then you may just need to remove some or all of the padded inserts to fit (I was very padded). There is also a very inconspicuous loop so the short train could be bustled.

Its a stunning dress, I loved that it was strapless but with the sheer neckline. Its an elegant alternative to a dress you'll have to fidget with all night pulling up.

Features:

* Flattering fit * Metallic thread, embroidery and sparkling beads *Scalloped illusion neckline * Illusion low back * Beautiful buttons down the back * Bustle to make dancing easy.

The dress is stored with my mum in Camden, NSW and she is happy to arrange a weekend or weeknight fitting. Please contact me to arrange a time.
