About the Dress

Incredible hand beaded gown with lining and a semi structured bodice. Extremely eye-catching and comfortable, and it changes colour slightly with the light. I can provide additional photos of it in daylight vs. sunset vs. low light. Stunning low back (I wore SKIMS with them) with inbuilt bra (see alteration details). Photographs beautifully and is nowhere near as delicate as it seems. Ozone treated (the dress fabric cannot go through mechanical dry cleaning but no stains as it’s beaded mesh.) Some wear near train: very small patch of missing beads but not noticeable. Have a spare bag of beads ready to ship with the dress. The dress loses some beads with wear as they are hand sown. This happened during trying on the sample gown as well. Together with alterations the dress was bought for ~£5,000 GBP

Alterations

The original dress is sheer and was see-through at the top, so this dress has an additional layer of mesh around the bust as well as nude cups (non-push up, I am a 32C but they would also fit a 32D). I also had a bustle built in, along with a wrist loop to help carry the dress. The bodice has been altered to be more fitting and flattering. The length of the dress was altered for my height, plus 9-10cm heels. It would work for a taller person with lower heels, or a shorter person with higher heels, depending on how much of the shoe you want on display. I am 5'5ft without shoes (approx. 168cm tall).
