THE DRESS
A stunning dress by the legendary Oscar de la Renta that’s at once simple, elegant and expressive. The dress is crafted of luminous white silk organza, and covered with Lily of the Valley Guipure lace embroidery. The lace embroidery creates a gorgeous texture that’s soft, unique and singular. The fine detailing of the lace and shear-ness of the cap sleeves and back make this dress a show stopper from entrance to exit.
Also, the trumpet shape of the dress and the high empire waste are flattering and comfortable. The draping of the dress is so well done. It flows beautifully when standing, walking and dancing.
This dress has been worn only once for the big day and is in immaculate condition. It has been professionally cleaned and shows little to no visible signs of wear.
If you are local to the Bay Area, please contact me to arrange a viewing of the dress. Once the dress is sold, it is a final sale.
ALTERATIONS
Dress was ordered in a label size 8 and altered for a custom fit. Alterations were done in such a way that the dress was in no way cut, and can be taken out or taken in to accommodate any size.
This dress was hemmed and fabric from the cutting of the hem can be included. Dress length is 5'6" when wearing 2-3" heels.
Originally, the clasps in the back of the dress were simple ones that popped open when you bent over. In altering, hidden hook and eye clasps were added to prevent this from happening.
A single, hidden bustle loop and clasp were added to this dress as it originally had no bustle. The bustle is a single, outside bustle and perfect for taking to the dance floor.
