Essense of Australia, D2770

This is the never-worn, romantic, dreamy dress of my dreams! Both sexy in how it accentuated my curves and revealed my back, yet whimsical in how it flowed when I moved— it was perfect for my grassy bohemian outdoor wedding on the foggy northern California coast. The details of the lace and beading are intricate and thoughtfully designed. The more closely I looked at it, the more I fell in love. And yet, this dreamy dress has yet to fulfill its wedding destiny! It was early 2020 when I bought it, and our wedding venue did not survive the pandemic, so we ended up having a beautiful baby girl instead of a wedding :). Even though life priorities for me have changed, I hope this helps another woman find their dream dress!

I don't fit into the dress anymore, but at the time of the picture I was 5'1", around 127 lbs, wore a size 34B cup bra, and wore street size 4 pants and dress. If those measurements match you, please take this dress for its first spin on the dance floor!

The color is Ivory/Moscato/Rum (and has all the layers). The dress size is a wedding dress size 8 (street size 4). It was purchased at Novella in downtown SF and was ordered at the custom length of 39" inches to account for low heels (since I was planning to walk on grass). The pictures of me wearing the dress were BEFORE the dress was ordered at my custom length, but you can see how a size 8 dress fits my body type. Please keep in mind the custom length and make sure that length is to your preference. It won't work if you're my height and want to wear tall heels. If you're shorter than me and want to wear tall heels, then that could work.

Here's the official description from the designer:

Sexy Backless Mermaid Gown with Plunging Neckline d2770

This sexy, organic-inspired dream of a dress will be the talk of your wedding day. This delicate mermaid silhouette is pure magic, with seaming through the low hip and a gentle yet voluminous skirt that flares into a breathtaking shaped train. Beaded shoestring straps extend to the back of the gown, with a low keyhole detail at the base of the open back which provides support and a touch of visual interest. The sparkling bodice and skinny plunge neckline are completely feminine, with sheer sides and strong floral lace patterns featuring vine and leaf-like shaping, effortlessly growing over the silhouette of the dress. The ruched detail at the back of the hip enhances your shape, and complements the multi-layer tulle skirt with a lace hem for a classic finish.
