The Dress

Brand New! This dress has never been worn (only tried on). I did purchase this on impulse shortly after I got engaged in the summer. When my now husband and I decided to elope in Europe and changed our plans from a more traditional wedding, it was not practical for me to bring such a large dress for our trip. I was unable to return this dress after alterations were completed, but I am hoping that another bride will find this dress as stunning as I did!

The dress is San Patrick (see photo with the tag). I bought it in August 2023, but I am not for certain that it is a 2023 design. It does need to be steamed, but as it was never worn, it should be fine to wear otherwise. Along the entire back of this dress, there a total of 116 buttons. Only the first 22 buttons must be done up to put on this dress. The train of the dress is absolutely spectacular measuring at a length of approximately 230 cm / 7 feet 6.55 inches.

Alterations

I had this dress taken in at the waist to fit my waist (27").
My measurements are:
Bust: 36.5 inches / 92.71 cm
Waist: 27 inches / 68.58 cm
High Hip: 31 inches / 78.74 cm
Hip: 37 inches / 93.98 cm
Height: 5 feet 11.5 inches / 180.34 cm

I did have some of the volume in the skirt removed (only one layer) and it is still quite voluminous. I did not have the length of this dress altered, but it could be taken up if it is too long (they offered this alteration initially, but my shoes made this the perfect length as it was as I am taller).
