Description

This gorgeous wedding gown has a modern twist on a classic style for a fairytale feel! The strapless bodice is made in a heavyweight satin-finish brocade richly embroidered with a dainty floral design in silky white thread, outlined with gold and with each blossom highlighted with sequins and gold seed beads. Around the waist, asymmetric pleating in shimmer organza wraps to a side accent finished with a beaded lace floral cluster for a figure-flattering and very feminine feel. Boning in the bodice also provides support and shape to the bodice. From the pleating accents at the waist, the soft shimmering organza skirt flows down over the satin underskirt with an off-center ruffle to the full-length hem at front and sweeps to a full-length train at the back. The gown closes at the back with ribbon lacing that lets you customize the fit without expensive alterations, all while adding to that princess feel. A panel under the lacing keeps the look smooth with no skin showing through the laces if expanded. The ribbon lacing appears to have been an addition to the gown after it was made as the original zipper is still in place but non-functional. The loops and lacing were professionally finished and well-stitched to add a secure fit and lovely look to this stunning gown. The gown is a winter white with the gold accents giving it an almost creamy feel. Made by Joli Bridal. There is no size tag in this gown so please use these measurements as an approximate guide to its fit. The given measurement is the gown itself but if the lacing is relaxed, the measurements can be extended). Bust: 38" (with up to 5" extra with lacing) Waist: 34" (with up to 2" extra with lacing) Hip: free Length (gown neckline to hem at front): 51" Condition: The gown is in excellent pre-owned condition with only two minor issues to note. On the neckline, a 3/4" section of the beadwork on the left side just in front of the underarm is missing (see photos). The threads of been secured so no further beadwork should fall but note it may be visible when wearing the gown. The other is the usual slight darkening of the hem thread that is inevitable after wear as the hem moves along the floor or ground. It may come out with a professional cleaning and is not blatantly obvious when wearing the gown. Questions? Please convo me as all vintage and bridal items are sold AS IS.
