About the Dress

Mira Zwillinger Ella – SS 2023 Collection

Purchased October 2024 | Worn Once | Tailored for Hem Only

This stunning Mira Zwillinger Ella gown from the Spring/Summer 2023 collection was purchased from a top boutique in October 2024 and worn once for my wedding day. The dress features Mira’s signature ethereal detailing with intricate hand-beaded appliqué, a structured yet romantic silhouette, and the most magical flow in motion. It's beautifully beaded throughout the skirt to the end of its train. The corset bodice snatches you like no other and will make you feel even more confident on the big day.

I’m 5’10” with shoes, and the dress was only hemmed to that height, leaving plenty of room for tailoring if you're shorter. There are 2 buckle options for the waist as well, making the fit more flexible. At my waist size, I used the inner (so smaller waist option) buckle.

Additional minor customizations include:
- Bra cups sewn in for light support (can easily be removed or adjusted) which I think will be helpful
- A beautiful French bustle, perfect for dancing and preserving the gown throughout the night (you can just not use it either since it's just buttons sewed underneath the skirt layers)
- No other alterations to the bodice or wherever else

The dress is in excellent condition, with the only sign of wear being some dirt at the very bottom of the outer layer hem due to light rain on the wedding day. I confirmed with a Mira Zwillinger-recommended NYC cleaner that the dirt will come out easily with a standard dry cleaning. I’ve already factored the professional cleaning cost into the price, so the next owner can start fresh.

This is a rare chance to own one of Mira Zwillinger’s most iconic designs, tailored with love but still offering flexibility for your perfect fit.
