The Dress

Beautiful manon Vera wang ex-demo dress. Brought for £2000, RIP £5200.

Light ivory shoulder silk faille gown with hand wrapped detail at bodice and hand draped accents on skirt.

"This dress is completely done in silk faille—no other fabric is as crisp or structured. This one-of-a-kind Vera Wang is unique and dramatic as well as romantic and modern. The dress feels light and airy and moves gracefully with the
bride.

There’s also drama elsewhere in the dress—the volume of the skirt, for example. There’s hardly any crinoline, which is a lovely hidden surprise in this dress. Instead, the hand draping from the waist allows the faille to capture the air—a gentle swish announces her entrance and exit. It’s so perfect for the dance floor!

That kind of active movement inspired the bodice as well. The strap across the shoulder is almost sporty. And the way the lilac faille is draped over the corset, with some really beautiful directional pleats, it almost fits like a ballerina’s sweater. For a dress that is so full of graphic assertions, Manon is exceptionally graceful."

Unfortunately selling due to wedding cancellation. Never used. Top dress hook missing, but spares with dress so easily correctable.

Any questions please ask :).

Happy bidding.
