Beautiful Iconic Strapless Wedding Dress with Floral Lace
The dress is ethereal, light, impossibly graceful, with layers of hand-damasked tulle and silk. It wears like a dream.
Alterations: Minimal alterations of taking it in and hemming to the wearable size of 5'9" (worn with 5.5" shoes).
Condition: Thinking of passing it on to the next generation, we had it professionally PRESERVED (not only professionally cleaned) with Saks Fifth Ave's preferred garment conservators, J.Scheer&Co. Wedding Gown Preservation NY, along with a beautiful veil. Official documentation and receipt for $1045 are available.
Since our only son probably wouldn't fit in it (^_^) we decided it's time to give this iconic dress a second life. As recommended by the conservator at J.Scheer&co, I would suggest going to a bridal store that carries Vera Wang to try the dress before committing to buying it here, since the dress and veil are still in the unopened preservation box. I'm happy to answer any questions, share receipts, documentation, the swatch of the fabric, and additional photography.
Bought new from Saks Fifth Ave Bridal in 2016, worn only on the wedding day. Professional conservation service by J.Scheer&CO in 2016. Dress and veil in SEALED PRESERVATION BOX.
From Vera's Website: Strapless mermaid floating lace gown over web lace. In Leda, every element comes together to express an Old World sense of refinement and beauty. From its creamy French vanilla color to its intricate, delicate, all-over tulip and rose lace, Leda has an unmistakable heirloom quality. With Leda, I wanted to give the dress a very three-dimensional, textural look. I achieved this effect with a overlay of tulip and rose lace on top of web lace, which almost looks like a netting. The web network is actually quite intricate, like a burst of foamy bubbles layered on top of one another. It’s airy and light, so it’s the ideal backdrop for the bold, floral lace. Throughout Leda, there are soft, curvy lines. A wispy tulle modesty piece on the bodice gives the illusion of something floating on the skin, while the gradual flair of the mermaid skirt curves and hugs the body into a classic hourglass shape. I love this type of modified mermaid silhouette, because there’s still that gorgeous structure on top, but with all the romanticism of a full skirt. The skirt is where the dress really comes to life, with a voluminous cage construction. Horsehair bands at the bottom of the skirt frame the outer shell of this cage like halos, allowing the fabric to bounce and trap the air and light, making the tulip and rose lace nearly luminescent. Leda is an incredible fusion of texture, volume, and movement."
