The Dress

This dress was inspired by the Pronovias Lamero dress. I had the dress made by a dressmaker (Norman Callan - who is based in Norwood, JHB). I paid R11 500.00 for the dress to be made and am selling for R6 000.00.

Material: The dress is made from fantastic quality materials, namely Duchess satin, covered in excellent quality Chiffon, with lace and understated silver bead detailing (see up close picture). There is lace detailing around the edge of the dress in the front and back, but can be removed. The only lace on the dress is around the waist (front and back) but extra lace can be added where desired. I was going for a very simple and understated dress.

Size: The size of the dress is an 8/10, I vary in size depending on which store I shop at.

Style: The dress is a Sheath style dress, with fitted top and waist, and flows from the waist. The dress is v-neck with thick (permanent) straps over the shoulders. The chiffon over the chest and straps is folded, to add extra romance and luxury. This detailing is continued at the back. The dress has a low back, with lace detailing descending down the dress at the back (see back shot of dress). The dress at the back has a full round train, however not too long. Just long enough to make a statement. There are also built in cups (I'm a size 36A/B) and these can be removed if required. The dress is floor length (I am 178cm (5ft 8in) tall, so the length can be shortened as preferred). The dress also has boning around the waist, which helps flatten the stomach and helps with your posture!

Veil: I will be selling the veil with the dress, it is a simple, but statement full length veil, attached with a comb. The edge of the veil has the same beading as the detailing of the dress, very understated, just adding a shimmer when caught in the light.

Zip: The dress has a long zip at the back, covered by lace, for easy dressing.

Dancing: There is a built in loop in the back on the tail of the dress to assist when dancing.

Cleaning/Storage: The dress was professionally dry cleaned the day after the wedding, and has been hanging in a plastic covering since then. So the condition of the dress is in "new" with no damage.

I'm based in Linden, Johannesburg, and happy for potential buyer to come try on the dress.
