About the Dress

Essense of Australia Wedding Gown Style D2680 in Ivory. Fit and flare style, silky ivory lining, ivory tulle, and white lace overlay makes the lace really pop. Light beading in floral motifs along the straps. Subtle cut-out effect around under bust and back where no lining is present. Beautiful back with look of floating straps secured by illusion mesh and buttons. Fantastic flowy train. Closure is a zipper under buttons, hook and eye, and four functional buttons with another hook and eye.

Bridal Size US 10. Gown is pre-loved and has had some alterations (listed below). Dress has been professionally dry-cleaned.

Areas of damage and wear:

-The illusion mesh around the top first and second buttons has a hole. This could be easily repaired by your seamstress.

-The second elastic loop from the top has been reattached and is shorter than the others. Functional.

-Some yellowing in a few areas around the hem. Not too noticeable while wearing and may be removed by your drycleaner. Photos included.

-One bustle button has lost its fabric cover. Easily repaired by your seamstress.

-General wear and tear to be expected in a used dress, such as loose threads, worn illusion mesh, fraying of lace appliques, and some loose beading.

Please see the Essense of Australia website for a full description and photos of the dress on a model.

I am selling this dress after purchasing a few pre-owned options and picking my favorite. Hope this beautiful gown finds its next adventure!

-Bra pads added (and easily removed).

I've included the measurements of the last bride who wore this. She looked beautiful and it fit her extremely well.
