About the Dress

This dress's name is "Fler". It is from the Monaco Collection by the European Haute Couture Designer, Crystal Design. The lace was heavily embroidered and hand-beaded in Ukraine, which took about 8 months. It features a plunging neckline, deep-V back, fully beaded thin straps, and a stunning train that can be bustled up for a cascading effect.

The dress is a label size 10 (EUR 40), which is a street dress size 6 in the US. The original measurements were 36-28-39. It has only been taken in, and could be let out again. For the front of the dress to kiss the floor without alteration, the bride's height with shoes should be about 5'6".

The dress is in good condition, with minimal signs of wear. Being fully beaded with highly decorative lace, a few beads could be missing and there are slight imperfections in the thread. There is nothing noticeable. There is also one, dime-sized discoloration in the liner layer that did not come out during the cleaning, but it isn't visible while wearing the dress. The dress has been professionally cleaned and stored in a Bridal Keepsafe box.

It is surprisingly comfortable to wear. I hope someone can enjoy it as much as I did.

Alterations

An American bustle (a.k.a. over-bustle) has been added to pull up the train for reception wear. The bust and waist were both brought in. The hips are unaltered. I made no alterations to the decorative, top layer of the dress, only to the liner.
