I purchased this dress in 2008 for $2,700.00, however now need to sell, so am offering it for less than 1/4 of what it was originally paid - Nifi Bridal in Oakleigh, Melbourne VIC sells this exact dress - brand and design - for this price.

Your chance to get a unique and high quality one of a kind designer gown, that is still timelessly fashionable, elegant and classy.

It has detailed beading on the bust, as well as tule sticking up from the top. (I chose to have the dress custom made without the original feathers as well as tule that were on the original design)

The midsection has lace embroidery down the seam in the centre, and the fabric gathers out from the seam also. A brooch consisting of 2 silk roses and crystal beads comes with the dress and can be clipped on to the hip for added detail.

It is a size 10, however the back is lace up, so the dress can fit from an Australian size 8 figure to an Australian size 14. (I was a size 8 - 10 when I wore this dress and am now a size 12 - 14 and I can still fit it with no problems)

The skirt is what I believe to be the feature of the dress as it consists of pure silk overlaying layered tule. The silk layer can be clipped up onto the tule layer to create various gathered looks at each clip point. You can chose to clip up all of the silk and have it very gathered, or have none clipped up and have it all sitting over the tule. You can have it slightly clipped and gathered as well. You can chose how you want to have the skirt and can easily alter it at any time by simply unclipping the top layer.

It also has a beautiful long Silk train which comes from the top of the skirt and i also able to be removed by unclipping.

It is a fairly full skirt, but is not over the top - as you can see in the picture I have included of an original design of the dress in white - you can have a fuller skirt if you choose to wear a petticoat or hoop underneath. It is very versatile.

The colour of the dress I am selling is 'sea shell' or 'champagne', and I am willing to include the veil which is the same colour, for no extra charge.
