The Dress

Wedding dress size 8-10 BNWOT

I purchased this dress for my wedding, but it was postponed and now it doesn’t fit me. Brand new - only worn briefly to try it on, handled with cotton gloves and stored properly (dress box and in acid-free tissue paper) to keep it in perfect condition. Made by dressmaker in Canberra rather than bought from store, which is why it doesn’t have tags on.

Fitted crepe dress, fully lined. Lace and beading over the bodice down to the hips, which creates a very flattering stream-lined effect. Boning in the bodice for added structure. V-neck neckline, and low back, with sheer lacy and beaded straps. Small-medium train, with bustle already stitched on for ease of movement. Straps on inside for ease of hanging the dress. Zip opening up back of dress, with illusion of buttons down the back.

The location of the lace and beading down to the hips draws the eye down and away from the mid-section. That plus the lining, structure and boning in the dress make it very flattering.

Fits size 8-10 with approximate measurements as follows:
- Length shoulder to floor 150 cm
- Waist 70-80 cm
- Hips 84-94 cm
- Torso shoulder to waist 36 cm

Bought for $2,200, selling for $249.

Happy for serious potential buyer to try it on at my house in Brisbane.
