I'm selling the Pronovias Dravidia dress from their 2018 Collection.
It took me over 9 months to find a dress that was elegant, understated and still had the 'wow' factor, and the Dravidia is it!
Here's the cheesy description from the Pronovias website:
Some contrasts really make a difference, like this mermaid dress created in crepe and tulle. A dress, fitted at the waist, with a beautifully draped train. The bodice blends into the dress which has a discreet halter neck, while the back holds the best surprise, an incredible illusion neckline with gemstones, starting at the shoulders and travelling down the deep open back. A very special dress for that very special moment.
The dress is in perfect condition, it was only worn for one day and has been professionally cleaned since.
It's a Pronovias "size 6". I'm not really sure what that means, as when it arrived I highly doubt it would have fit any vaguely-normally-shaped human being! The waist was muuuch too tight, and the bust was giant, so I had alterations done to make it fit. I'm usually a street size 8 or 10 UK (Size 4 or 6 US) depending on the shop (as a reference, in Topshop I'm a size 8 in tops, and wear both their size 26 and 28 jeans), and I'm 5 ft 7.5 inches, and wore 2.5 inch heels on my wedding day. The dress had (and still has) some extra fabric in the seams, for letting the dress out. I would say that it could still be let out by about 1 inch all over, if needed.
The back of the dress is removable (all of the beads clip on as one piece) and I initially toyed with the idea of removing them in the evening to have a different look for the reception, but then the beads photograph so well while dancing, that I decided to leave them in.
I purchased the dress in Feb 2018 for my September 2018 wedding. I live in New York, but am English, so I ordered the dress in NYC, had all the alterations done in the city, and then wore it in the UK, which is where the dress is currently situated.
I got non-stop compliments on this dress (including from the men in my family who can't usually tell one dress from another!) and I would love someone else to enjoy it as much as I did!
