About the Dress

Quick details: 1) standard size US 10/AU 14/L (not custom!); 2) no alterations made; 3) chai lining; 4) no train.

The Emanuela style from GLL is just as perfect as everyone says- the combinations of lace with stretch lining means it really can accommodate a range of measurements, fluctuations in size, and there's wiggle room (literally). I understand how nerve wracking the used dress buying process can be because I purchased this dress from an amazing bride on Still White! Let me know if you have questions and I'll do my best to answer them. I have extra photos to share, just ask. I adore this dress...

This dress was originally purchased at a GLL boutique in Australia. It then made its way to me in the U.S. The dress comes with the GLL bag and box, although the box is damaged (and will increase the shipping price). The dress has been gently hand washed and line dried per instructions. It has been stored loosely folded in a smoke-free home. I opted for no train because I didn't want to deal with bustling, stepping on it, and dragging it in the dirt of our outdoor wedding! It suited my personal style.

Dress damage: there are only a few minor signs of wear, all on the bottom trim of the dress. I count three places where the thin thread has broken between circles on the trim, and one circle that has stubborn dirt remaining. Trust me, these flaws are so minor they will not be noticeable once you have it on. The lace on the body of the dress is fully intact and the lining looks perfect!
