Monique Lhuillier Lola Dress Gown For Sale
For sale on ebay item 8270337195 :
Stunning Monique Lhuillier Lola mermaid style dress and matching custom veil. Dress is made of re-embroidered Ivory Alencon lace with delicate eyelash lace at the trim on the plunging V neckline and on shoulders. The dress also features a trapunto-stitched cummerbund. Three quarter length in front means the length is not an issue.
Stretch silk satin spaghetti strap slip petticoat for underneath which comes custom with the dress. Very comfortable stretchy fabric.
Long sweep train bustles for your reception. Spaghetti strap holders added in the shoulders so the straps don`t show or slip down.
The dress is a size 8 but has been altered to a size 6. The slip and the lace have some "give" to them.
Finally please note there is a slight pinkish stain on the inside of the cummerbund which CANNOT be seen at all from the outside when wearing the dress. This resulted from the red ink on the label which the store marked "for sale", running when the dress was professionally cleaned pre-wedding. The dress needs to be cleaned or hand washed prior to your wedding (a few faint marks on the cummerbund) and a couple of places where the lace needs to be repaired (this can easily be done during the alterations)-- this is a gorgeous but very delicate lace and small tears are unavoidable during wear. The tears are really not noticeable so you may choose not to repair them... But please expect to clean/hand wash the dress and possibly repair some small tears in the lace.
I can assure you it is an outstanding piece . To me, a big Monique L`Hullier fan, it is definitely among Monique L`Hullier`s best and most timeless designs. The actual retail price is $4100 so you are getting it for over 60% off.
The veil is a custom-made matching Alencon lace shoulder length Spanish
Mantilla veil (not Monique Lhuillier brand but very good quality). The lace matches very very well and there are sparkles in the Mantilla lace which gives it a nice effect.
If you would like any more pictures I would be glad to provide.
