I bought this dress online at Grace Loves Lace (a well known Australian brand). I received this dress directly from the manufacturer (Grace Loves Lace) on Thursday, May 7th, 2015. It has NEVER been worn. I am only selling this beautiful dress because I found something I love just a little bit more after I purchased it. I think it is a gorgeous dress and a great option for someone who wants to wear Grace Loves Lace but doesn't want to wait 6-8 months to receive it. The dress is stunning and the pictures speak for themselves. :-)
The dress is a XS, which (right off the website) means your measurements would fall into this range, or be smaller: Waist 24-25.5" Underbust 27-28.5" Bust 31.25 – 33" Hip 36-37.5" Some of my measurements fall into the ranges above, and some are smaller (hips). Just like any bridal gown, you are supposed to pick your size based on your biggest measurement. There is more detail about this (including a size chart) on the website. The great thing is that given the flowy, stretchy nature of the dress many different shapes/sizes can wear the dress and look great. There is no zipper or boning at all - the dress slips on over the head.
Length: this dress was made for me to wear with my specific heel height. I am 5'7" tall, and my shoes are 3" high. If you are my height or SHORTER, this is the dress for you. If you are an inch or two taller but wearing a smaller heel, that would work. You can always shorten the dress (it would be VERY easy to do). Obviously if you at 6' tall and want to wear a 6" heel, this isn't your dress.
Here is a wonderful description off the website:
Our Violet dress embodies soft and natural beauty with an angelic undertone. We love that our Violet dress is not your traditional white or ivory, made from the most magical combination of nude/blush soft Italian tulle and unique two-tone ivory/nude stretch cotton lace. The top half of the dress is a striking and flattering shape that gives the illusion of a halter neck. Hand cut lace at the collar bone adds to the love that goes in to making this dress. Tapering down the centre of the back to meet at your natural waist line that is accentuated with a simple clean line satin ribbon. The length of the tulle skirt is designed to skim the floor and the lining is slightly shorter which adds a unique detail and allows you to show off your shoes.
This dress is beautiful and feminine from all angles and is a true favourite for brides of all body shapes and sizes.
We envision Violet with glossy skin and wavy hair, elegant strappy nude heels and flowers in your hair.
