Maggie Sottero, Blakely 3MS734

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.
