Essense of Australia 'D2848'

Sparkling Strapless Organic Ball Gown Wedding Dress with Sheer Bodice

This is a beautiful classic ivory dress from Essence of Australia.

The dress has a beautifully crafted corset with a built-in bra and is floor length with 3-3.5 inch heels. The waistline should fit snuggly so that it allows you to breathe but also not feel loose like it may fall off. It is a light, airy dress that is perfect for dancing and spinning which was a must for me on my wedding day! It has a sweetheart neckline and detailed embroidery throughout the bodice and proximal part of the dress that tapers out. It has a lower back of the dress that shows just below your shoulder blades and has a bustle with loops shown in side pictures with bustle up and bustle down easy for an assistant to do. There are layers of tulle that have sparkles throughout the dress.

When putting on the dress I caution you as it may leave sparkles on the floor but this vacuums up easily.

Sizing: The model bride shown is medium petite height 5ft 4 inches (wore 3-3.5" heels) and usually wears size 4-6 dress size at Banana Republic and bra size 34 B. This translates to a wedding dress size 8 with alterations.

Alterations: Hemmed at the bottom and taken in around the bodice. 

Condition: There is a small tear located at the bottom of the dress in one of the layers which is not obvious and is difficult to see unless you are meticulously steaming each layer of the dress which I recommend doing prior to your wedding day. If the bride is facing at 12 noon on a clock the small tear is located back of the dress at 6-8 o clock position. 

The dress was purchased 12/2023 at RK Bridal, worn on the wedding day 1/20/24, and then dry-cleaned and preserved.

Included: the petticoat and stunning cathedral veil shown in the photo with matching embroidery as the dress.

Designer Description: Reveal your all-natural glamour with this stunning ballgown wedding dress from Essense of Australia. A sparkling floral-encrusted bodice features pops of organic flowers embroidered with rich beading over thin, sheer sequin and textured tulle layers for high shine. The floral details reach across the deep plunge of the structured sweetheart neckline, and over the waistline to add dimension to the full, rich skirt. The back of the sheer bodice zips beneath fabric-covered buttons before flowing into the seamless, full train featuring multiple layers of tulle and Cali chiffon with floral details lightly showered throughout.
