About the Dress

New with tags unaltered sample gown Truvelle Calista V1. I bought this in a sample sale but it is too large on me to be alterable and is not refundable. It’s a gorgeous dress and for a sample is in really amazing condition. There are no flaws, tears or damage, it’s just a tiny bit dirty at the very end of the underside of the train but a regular dry cleaning would take care of it easily and it’s really not noticeable due to the fabric.

Tag size 10 but fits like a US8. The truvelle size chart lists a 10 as being bust 36-37” and waist 29-30”, which sounds spot on as I wear a 2-4 with a 26-27inch waist and 34A bra (32” at fullest part of bust) and it was clipped a few inches in the waist and was quite big in the cups/bust. Photographed with a 90” veil. It’s very comfortable because the material is light and fluttery and there’s no boning anywhere. I wanted to constantly swoosh and swirl and move around in it! I’m 5’10 and it’s maybe 2 inches too long for me barefoot.

Sad to part ways with it but I just wouldn’t have been able to alter it down to my size successfully. The train is so gorgeous and it’s so comfortable!
