I had the best time of my life wearing this dress! It's made of 100% raw silk and I felt incredible in it - it's extremely lightweight and comfortable, and gives the body a great hourglass shape. The puff sleeves can be worn on- or off-the-shoulder (I wore it off-the-shoulder), which gives it great versatility.

I intentionality bought an extremely high-quality dress with the plan to sell it, because I love that it's a more sustainable option and I believe that dresses like this deserve to be worn more than once! Knowing this, I wore it extremely carefully and changed into a reception dress for dancing.

It was dry-cleaned immediately following the wedding, though our ceremony was in an outdoor location and there are minor marks on the inside bottom of the hem that are not be noticeable while wearing. I'm selling it for 54% off the retail price to account for these imperfections, and am happy to share a video of these marks if helpful (though they're honestly hard to find/see!).

Alterations

Dress was slightly taken in at the corset area and puff sleeves, without removing any fabric. You can easily reverse these alterations by removing the alteration thread to return the dress to the original size/shape. Dress was also hemmed for length, so it hits the floor at a height of about 5'11" in heels and can be hemmed shorter.
