This dress is custom made by a wedding gown tailor I know in Taiwan. The bodice is boned so it doubles as a corset which gives beautiful contours from the bust to the waist.
The bodice has a tie-up back, laced and beaded. The gown has a medium train, long enough to need carrying at times but not long enough so I can't carry it myself :P It has about 9 layers - 2 layers of silk organza, satin/silk, a few layers of stiff mesh fabric, and lining, all these layers give the gown very nice volume, but also sits elegantly and not too ball-gown.
I am 165cm and 52kg at the time of the wedding (sigh), my measurements are 33C 25" 36.5". I had 12cm heels on the day. I have very average leg length but this gown gives great illusions.
The gown has been professionally dry cleaned and boxed by Baci, I did open it to check, it has very minor discolouring at the hem here and there, but the gown is nicely cleaned. Purple sash also dry cleaned and included. |
