Dahlia is an original and romantic dress. This gown is made up of two separate pieces, the ivory slip and a nude mesh tulle dress covered in bright white beads and sequins. The bodice fits the body with a draped sleeve detail and a wide neckline giving way to an open back. The skirt features side godets with a rough cut finish.
Neither the slip or outer dress layer has been altered. If you look closely at the beading, you can see small signs of wear e.g. loose threading/missing beads as to be expected with beading/sequins, but you need to be looking for it to notice. On the under layer, there's a bit of loose stitching at the zipper base -- not noticeable when the dress is on. Has been freshly professionally cleaned.
This dress is a show stopper, so special and unique and no longer manufactured!! If you search for it on Pinterest you can see it pictured with a full cathedral veil for a more formal look. Regardless of formality and accessories, you will receive compliments like crazy.
The dress is a UK 10 which equates to a US 6. While the slip is quite fitted, the nude outer layer has a lot of give.
