Strapless Stretch Mikado Mermaid Gown with Draped Bodice, and Swirling Tissue Organza Flanges on Skirt

Style & Fit: The dress is designed in a breathtaking mermaid style that elegantly hugs the body, creating a beautifully defined silhouette that flares gracefully at the knee. Its design is a testament to timeless elegance, tailored to accentuate curves while ensuring comfort and ease of movement. The fabric cascades smoothly, highlighting the natural lines of the body and creating an exquisite visual flow that's both captivating and chic. I fell in love with this dress for its perfect blend of sophistication and allure. The way it fit me, snugly around the hips before flaring out, gave me an overwhelming sense of confidence and grace. It was the silhouette it created—a vision of elegance and poise—that truly took my breath away. The dress managed to be both classic and dramatic, making it an unforgettable choice for any special occasion.

Included Items & Unique Features: The dress comes with a built-in, supportive bodice, offering structure and ensuring the dress sits perfectly throughout the event. No additional undergarments are required, thanks to this feature, allowing for seamless comfort and a flawless fit. In summary, this dress, with its mermaid silhouette, pristine condition, and unique buttoned back, stands ready to make your special day just as magical as mine was. It’s a garment that speaks of love, care, and a desire to make someone feel their most beautiful. With no hidden flaws or surprises, it promises to be a purchase that brings nothing but joy and satisfaction.

Condition & Care: This dress remains in impeccable condition considering it was worn at my wedding, showing no signs of wear and tear - just slight discoloration under the skirt layers. After its singular use, it was professionally cleaned with the utmost care to ensure it remains pristine. The dress comes to you looking as fresh and stunning as the day it was first crafted, ready to make its next appearance without a single blemish to note.

Alterations: In a bespoke alteration that sets this dress apart, buttons were meticulously added all down the back, from the top of the zipper down to the hem, introducing a vintage-inspired charm and an added layer of elegance. No fabric was removed in this process; instead, the addition of the buttons serves as a functional yet decorative element that brings a unique touch to the dress. This alteration does not affect the dress's fit but instead adds to its visual appeal, making it even more special and distinctive.
