The Dress

**Feel free to make me an offer - really just wanting this dress to go to someone who really wants it!!**

I am selling my beautiful two-piece wedding dress set designed by Spanish dance and wedding dress designer, Cortana. I wore the set for my September 2022 wedding in Big Sur, CA. This two piece set was extremely comfortable and required no shapewear as the skirt material has a stretchy but hugging quality to it. I have dry-cleaned the set since wearing it, and it will come with original Cortana hangers and garment bag from the boutique I purchased at (LOHO Bride in Los Angeles).

Cortana “Emmanuelle” Top
Color: Ivory / off-white
Retail: $750

Cotton lace top lined in 100% silk tulle. The top has three-quarter length dolman sleeves and a slight draping on the shoulders and front neckline. The back neckline is very pronounced, and fastens at the waist with 3 little buttons lined with silk tulle. At the waist the dress has a ribbon stretch that gathers the top.

The top is a gorgeous 100% silk top that features a boat-neck neckline, 3/4 sleeves, an open back with three buttons at the bottom, and a stretchy bottom which either expands if you need a little extra room, or hugs your waist for a fitted look. Exterior of the top is 100% lace silk tulle and has a thin interior lining made of 100% cotton. Inside label intact, size FR40.

Please note that the top is quite sheer and you would likely need something underneath it. I wore a cami that I had altered in the back to bring it lower since the top is basically backless.

Blemishes: There is a small food stain on the inside of the bottom stretchy hem but it is not noticeable from the outside at all. (See photo 8, right-hand photo)

Cortana "Jara” Skirt
Color: Ivory/off-white
Retail: $1900

The Jara skirt is made of an Italian linen and viscose stretch fabric, the skirt is high-waisted, flared and has a train. This skirt from the bridal collection is made in one piece of fabric with a godet in the back. It has two sashes that can be tied in a number of ways and even wrapped around twice the waist if desired.

Blemishes: As our wedding was outdoors in Big Sur, there are some light outdoor stains on the very bottom inside of the train but they are difficult to see from the outside. There is also one tiny food stain on one of the sashes (Photo 4 shows outdoor stains on the interior of the train, and Photo 8 shows the food stain on one of the sashes)

Waist: 37.5cm
Longest part of train: 148cm
Shortest part of skirt (in the front): 118cm
Both sash lengths: 168cm

Alterations

Alterations:
Top: No alterations were made to this top.
Skirt: The waist was not touched during alterations, only the bottom of the dress was hemmed to accommodate my height (5'7") for a 3.5" heel shoe.
