The Dress
Stunningly beautiful Caroline Castigliano Samara dress which is cut on the bias. The dress is called Samara and has several layers of the lightest silk and chiffon.
The dress has a deep v-neck front, slim-fitting skirt, an open back with fabulous cross-over straps, and the skirt falls to a train.
The style is very flattering style even for those who like me have hips! I would rather not sell it but I unfortunately no longer have the hanging space to store the dress upright and it is too beautiful to box it up to gather dust in the attic. I absolutely loved wearing this dress and felt very relaxed but radiant all day long and I hope someone else will feel just as special as I did.
The dress was bought as a standard size 10 but by the wedding it was altered such that the top half/bust and back is now more properly a size 8 with a 30 D bust. The size 10 skimmed my hips which are much larger than my top half. This dress really knows how to dress curves and accentuate a petite upper half. The dress has a built in bra support and fitted like a glove. A regular size 8 would probably suit the style the most and it could then be altered if required so it fits snugly.
I also had a couple of bespoke alterations made at extra expense:
(i) extra length added to the train to give it a more glamourous feel. This could easily be altered back if a longer train is not preferred. The beautiful train hooks up easily underneath the dress for ease of move and dancing or there is a further hook to loop round the wrist if preferred.
(ii) I also had hidden eye hooks put into the inside of the bust line so that the long chiffon tails which are seen worn tied up behind to accentuate the curve of my lower back, could be draped over the shoulders of the dress if one wanted to feel a little more demure and not have the shoulders exposed. Equally if you don't fancy a veil, this option works well for a little coverage if having a church ceremony. I opted for a veil at the last minute so I do not have a photo shot of that look but it adds a very ethereal edge to the dress.
The dress has been dry cleaned and I have a special presentation box as well as a full length garment protector for hanging.
In terms of condition, there are a couple of barely noticeable marks and damage from gravel to the underside of the silk and chiffon on the train but not that the naked eye would notice any of the marks.
I bought the diamonte broach separately but it is in included in the price.
The veil, 2 unworn tiaras and white ostrich stole are all being sold by separate negotiation - veil aside all these items are unworn. Pictures of those items can be emailed separately.
Happy to allow the dress to be tried on prior to sale. I am based in central Edinburgh so very easy to get to and transport links from most parts of the UK. Please contact me for further information.
