The Dress

This was an exquisite dress to wear. It felt incredibly regal yet has a bit a sass in it with the split and layers at the bottom. I received a lot of gorgeous comments from our guests and it was very easy to walk in as we made an alteration by putting a small beautiful button that sits beneath the fallout of the bow with a hook from the train making it a dance friendly dress too. Though I have a small bust I could also fit well padded Boomba's in there (though in the end decided to go natural) so if you have a bigger bust than by at least two sizes you should fit this dress.

There are no marks or stains on the dress. Is genuinely as good as new, with alterations so is also genuinely unique. The video was taken on the initial fitting in the shop so is pre bow alterations.

Designers description:

Valentina is pure simplicity. Liquid like, the gown features a double layer satin draped on the bias, a thigh-high split, flattering pleated bust with extra hidden support and a back tie providing multiple styling options. Valentina paired with the new celestial veil will turn heads walking down the aisle or when styled for the reception with statement accessories.

ALTERATIONS

The sash was converted to a bow by a well known designer in Byron. You can see the difference in the images in the shop (with my hair down) vs the wedding shots (with my hair up). She also took the dress slightly. In US sizes the dress is a size 4. Australia size 8.

Dress price is in Australian dollars and postage would be additional. Approximately AUS$60 to post from Australia to the US.

If you would like this dress to be posted by mail I have the original box and can get a quote specific to your location on request.

PLEASE NOTE: the Veil has already been SOLD.
