Cinq, Gayle

"Made of flowing silk tulle over duchess satin, The Gayle features a corset top with a detached skirt." -Cinq

I loved the Cinq Gayle dress so much! It was very comfortable to dance in and photographed so beautifully. It is two pieces, but they overlap to give the illusion of one cohesive dress. The top is a modified size 6 with off the shoulder lace that could be detached for a fully strapless look or modified into spaghetti straps. I am a bra size 32c/d, waist 26-26.5", approximately 5'9" (slightly taller with shoes, though I didn't wear heels), 136 lbs. The top has a light basque waist shape that is very flattering without being overly trendy. The zipper works perfectly and has no tears. The bottom features a full skirt with many layers that has a nice shape to it. We paid approximately $900 to have this professionally cleaned, and it is in excellent condition.

As noted below, due to the delicate tulle, there are some minor holes and rips in the bottom portion of the tulle on the skirt that could not be repaired. I don't think it takes away from the dress personally! There are also a few light stains unfortunately on the satin on the skirt under the tulle but I highly doubt they would show up in photos or be noticed due to the way the skirt drapes. I would wear this again and again if I could and think it still has a lot of life in it!

There is no discoloration on the armpits. There is one small dot that appears to be makeup on the inside edge of the top neckline. As it's facing inward though, I don't think it would be seen. Happy to provide more photos on request, just reached the max for StillWhite!
