Vivienne Westwood, Nova Rhea

From the Vivienne Westwood website: "Featuring transformative elements, the customizable Nova Rhea has a removable train. With expertly corseted, minimal drapery, the Rhea nips in at the hips and is finished with a subtle mermaid train."

This unbelievably gorgeous gown was purchased from the Vivienne Westwood Boutique in Los Angeles. Your purchase will include the Nova Rhea Gown in excellent used condition with removable train and Vivienne Westwood branded garment bag and hanger. Purchase also includes, if desired, new in box Vivienne Westwood "One Row Pearl Drop Choker" in yellow gold (retail value $360, never worn).

Size is UK8/US4. The only alterations from the original gown were a hem for a 5'4.5" bride wearing 3.5" heels and the addition of a bustle. The original corset was not altered. Photos show the front and back of the gown with/without the removable train and the bustle. For reference, I am 5'4.5", bust 34D, waist 25/26.

This dress is classy yet sexy. That VW corset will snatch your waist and lift your bust. You will not need shape-wear. Everyone's jaw will be on the floor when they see you. The detachable train makes this dress so versatile, perfect for transitioning your style from ceremony to reception rather than needing a second dress.

When I chose this dress, I loved that it has the immediately recognizable, signature Vivienne Westwood design without being as overexposed as some of the more viral styles. Other styles I compared it to were the Cocotte, the Galaxy, and the Cora. The Rhea is the best by far. You will look stunning, original, and tasteful!
