Mermaid

Custom made dress by Peruvian designer Genaro Rivas.

This dress has only been worn once by me at my 2015 wedding.

The dress is made from high quality heavy satin and the straps and back have lace detail. There is boning in the bodice to give you a sleek look and the dress does up with a hidden zip and also has satin covered buttons detailing. The dress has a chapel train which is just beautiful. There is simple button and loop system for hooking the train up for the reception. The dress looks lovely with the train hooked up as well as when it is down (see the last photo).

I found the dress easy to move in as it flares out slightly at the knees. I wore it will a light Tulle underskirt to give it a bit of extra volume.

Simple, elegant and classic style. The dress could also be complemented by a belt/sash or with some embelishments if you wanted to customise the dress to suit your look. I wore it with a sash around the waist, but it also looks nice without as can be seen in most of the photos.

The dress is in good condition and since it did not get very dirty after I wore it, it has only been lightly cleaned instead of professionally dry cleaned, which has allowed me to keep the price lower since I did not have to pay the high cleaning costs. Originally I paid US$2500 for the dress.
