I absolutely loved wearing this Monique Lhuillier wedding gown, and received so many compliments on it! It is elegant, yet not over the top, and the high neck around the back is stunning. I also absolutely love the buttons all the way down the train. I hope it can find a good home with someone who loves it as much as I do!
ALSO! If you buy this dress by December 4th, I will give you 10% off!!
Size & Alterations:
It is a size ten, but was taken in slightly at the hips. The shoulders were also slightly shortened to fit my torso. I am 5'8" (hemmed to my height - I wore flats), a typical size 6, and a bit more curvy on the bottom than the top. A bustle was also added with small gems to hold it.
Use & Cleaning:
I wore the dress during my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, then changed for the reception. The dress was professionally cleaned and preserved by Wedding Gown Preservation Co. a couple of weeks after the wedding. I also paid for the "celebrity upgrade." The gown has been sealed and stored in the preservation box since then. It will be sent to you in the preservation box (see photos), which I only just unsealed to check the dress before listing it, here.
Minor Imperfections:
I checked the gown thoroughly for minor imperfections. All can be seen in the photos. 1) A couple of the buttons have a red stain on them. 2) One button is missing near the neck. 3) there is a snag in the lace where a small gem was attached to bustle the dress. I am sure it would be relatively easy to replace the buttons. Also, do to the "natural" looking nature of the lace the snag could be easily stitched and not noticeable at all.
Shipping:
As mentioned above, I will ship the dress in the preservation box to keep it in great form, unless you would like to save on shipping costs we can discuss other options. If you need fast shipping, we can also discuss the terms of that.
