About the Dress

This gown was my absolute dream Fall gown! I fell in love with the leafy lace and subtle glitter tulle layer. The off-white color was also perfect for the season. I actually bought this dress off of here (StillWhite) and never ended up wearing it myself. I tried it on to get an alterations quote only.

Unfortunately, I have an abnormally short torso (I am 5'4" but I am all leg + I have scoliosis which doesn't help)... so alterations were going to cost me more than I paid for the dress. I also was going to remove some layers of fabric in the skirt to make it a slimmer shape, which contributed to the cost, too. I have decided to go with a different dress that is more easily adjusted to my frame. Thanks to my ADHD impulsivity and indecision... I purchased a handful of consigned dresses lol.

The only flaw on this dress is that it has some very mild dirt staining at the very bottom from the original owner getting married in it. It's very subtle, and if you're getting the dress hemmed further, it will likely get removed in alterations. The area where the dirt staining is pictured here in the last photo - it is barely visible!

It is me wearing it in the photos, and my measurements for reference are 31.5"/25"/38". Note: There is a button/clasp to cover up the zipper in the back! I just was alone when I tried the dress on so I couldn't manage to close it on my own.

The color of this dress is:
Ivory Lace + Ivory and Moscato Tulle + Ivory Regency Organza over a Moscato Gown

From the Essense of Australia website page:
All-natural, bohemian inspiration with a touch of refined glamour—wedding dress Style D3023 from Essense of Australia is a dream come true for your inner boho goddess. Organic shapes feature distinct leaf shapes as opposed to traditional floral detailing for a uniquely modern update, as they gently cascade over the sheer bodice with plunging neckline. Falling at varying lengths over the natural waistline and onto the skirt of layered glitter tulle and Regency organza, these details truly shine throughout this whimsical yet elevated design. A clean V-back detail is created with sheer panels covered in leaf detailing for a head-turning statement, while the back of the skirt flows out into a lush, frothy train.

Alterations

The length was slightly shortened to suit a 5'8" height with shoes. No other alterations.
