Pre-owned, worn only once. This gown was a gift from my mother for my dear sisters wedding last year (April 2018). I wore it during that same evening and kept it in it’s case ever since. I’m only giving it up due to financial strains and will only accept a fair price as it holds sentimental value for me.
There is only one flaw in the dress that must have happened the night of the wedding. One of the rear metal clasps at the rear neckline is missing (Image attached). Otherwise, the dress is in mint condition.
The gown supports a gorgeous single shoulder and off the shoulder design. An Asymmetrical neckline adds to the dramatic flare of this dress which is complemented by an elongated bodice which hugs your body to below the hips, creating a contoured cut and bringing about a sexy hour glass shape. The dress runs down to a 'trumpet' silhouette, so-called because of the dramatic way it fans out from the knee, is kept sharp by the reinforced hem.
Although the dress feels a little snug, the smooth inner surface keeps you feeling rich and comfortable through the evening. (Kindly note: Curvy women may need one size up) .
