The Dress

I bought this dress from the USA where it had been a store sample but never been worn before. I wore it for my wedding last summer, which is the only time it has been worn so far. It's simple but very classic and elegant and looks so beautiful and stunning on! The silk is quite lightweight (not stiff at all) and has netting under the skirt. It's very comfortable to wear and there are even pockets! It comes with a white satin hanger and wedding dress bag. Hoping it gets another wear!

Product details from J Crew Karlie gown:
This timeless ball gown is made from the finest silk dupioni, a fabric known for its unique lustre and subtly textured finish. (The pinnacle of elegance, silk dupioni works for any season and photographs beautifully.) The lack of embellishment on this silhouette lets you pile on the jewels or just revel in its stunning simplicity—it's your day, so it's up to you. Another reason to love it? It's finished with discreet on-seam pockets for stashing extras like lipstick and tissues.

Alterations:
- bra strap keeps added
- shortened to fall to the ground on a 5'6 person wearing flats

Flaws:
- there were 1-2 very tiny spots on the dress when it arrived to me - by the back near the buttons. I wore it with them and I don't think they are noticeable at all.
- from my wedding, there are a few stains at the bottom of the dress after dry-clean. Again, I don't think they would be noticeable when wearing. I have reduced the price because of this and have tried to show in the photos - am happy to send more if requested.
