About the Dress

Modern off shoulder ballgown dress with pockets! This dress is in pristine condition and has never been worn. It was steamed and bagged and has been kept in the original dress bag and will be boxed for delivery. I absolutely loved this dress but just completely changed my mind last minute and purchased a different dress, so this dress never got to be worn! Bought in 2024 for £1,700 in Size 8 UK but has been altered down a size so most likely around a Size 6 UK now.

Description from the Sophia Tolli website:
A modern take on a classic, clean ballgown, you'll be ready to make your royal entrance in Kennedy! Crafted from luxurious Pearl Mikado, the fitted bodice features a flattering sweetheart neckline with fold-over off-the-shoulder straps and an attached belt which subtly accentuates the waist. The full skirt with pleat detailing is airy and softly structured, finished with pockets and fabric covered buttons down the entire chapel length train.

Alterations

This is a UK Size 8 (US Size 4) which has had alterations made to the waistline to be taken down a size so the waistline is more like a Size 6 now (I am normally a Size 6-8 on top / small chested - picture 7 is of me trying on this specific dress with clips holding it in at the waist before the alterations were made, just so you can see my size for reference). Alterations were also made to the length to suit my height (166cm plus 9cm heels), the train was also shorted slightly, a discreet bustle loop was added to the train which can be seen on picture 5, additional cups were added to the pre-existing cups and thin spaghetti shoulder straps were added for support (but both the cups and straps could easily be unpicked and removed by a seamstress or the straps can simply be tucked in) as seen in picture 6.
