DRESS DETAILS:
-- Alvina Valenta, the Couture Collection, one of the most exquisite and well-made bridal gown lines.
-- This couture dress is in the extremely popular style 9556.
-- Official color is "Eggshell," which is a warm, pearl-like off-white, in lustrous 100% silk duchess satin. Subtle, candlelight glow.
-- Purchased from a prestigious private bridal boutique in perfect, new, never-worn condition.
-- Bridal size 16 (for your reference, my "street size" ranges from 12-14).
-- For your additional height/length reference, I am 5`4" and wore approximately 3" high heels with this dress.
-- Stunning flower detail softly anchors an asymmetrical sweep of loose, elegant pickups.
-- A beautifully sculpted bodice enhances waist and flows into the floral detail and pickup skirt.
(Note: This dress is SO flattering...by far the most flattering one I tried on! The bodice and skirt combination will truly make you look and feel slim, graceful, and comfortable throughout both your wedding and reception.)
-- An exquisite, silk-covered row of buttons in back.
-- A sweep train (subtle but helpfully color-coded pastel bustling threads already sewn in by master seamstress at bridal boutique).
-- A built-in, lightweight net slip (visible in one picture for your reference but not when worn).
-- Included in your purchase are four (4) high quality accessories and accompanying garments I wore:
A) A gorgeous silk and crystal shrug.
B) An Indian wedding style necklace.
C) A crinoline to keep you even cooler under the skirt and add to its beautiful shape.
D) A bridal corset specially adapted for no-show, flattering, comfortable wear.
-- Guests from the wedding still tell me that this is THE most gorgeous wedding gown they ever saw.
