As I stepped foot into a beautiful bridal boutique in San Diego called Isis Bridal Boutique, I knew this was the one! The dress is made of French Chantilly Lace. The color of the dress is champagne. It has a strapless lace tunic bodice with ribbon and faux diamond detail at the natural waist. The bottom has a cascade lace skirt with a sweep train. It is romantic and sexy all-in-one dress!
I tailored the dress to fit my body (I wear street size 2). The dress measurements are 33 inch bust, 26.5 inch waist, 33.5 inch waist, and approximately 5 feet 6 inches height (includes heels). The length of the dress from chest (not shoulders) to ground is 52.5 inches. The owner at the bridal boutique made an exception and let me buy the like-new, excellent condition sample gown given that my wedding was 2 months away. The condition of the dress still remains excellent (like new). There are no stains, tears, or any evidence of wear.
I purchased the dress as a sample gown for $2392.50 (original asking price was $3190). I also purchased an intricate faux diamond belt for $200. The total for the dress and belt was $2592.50, and I am asking $1500 (40% mark down). I have the original invoice available. The belt is currently detached from the dress given that the faux diamond belt can rub and tear against lace, but this belt is included in the sale. I can provide additional photos upon request.
The veil (Paloma Blanca Style No. 415C) is also available for sale at an additional cost of $175 (originally purchased for $495). The veil has some damages to lace, therefore I marked down cost by 65%. Photos and original receipts of veil can be provided upon request.
