This gown is an elegant Kenneth Pool collaboration with Amsale (part of a limited partnership collection). It is a rare dress in a special color, and is in near-perfect condition. It is a classic look, gorgeous in many settings (the light gold silk is especially lovely in evening candle light!).
The gown is crafted in luxury silk, in a stunning antique gold color. It features intricately emroidered panels along the bust (front and back) that incorporate tiny, delicate silver sequins and pearls to create a soft shimmer. There are matching panels along the front bottom hem of the dress and along the edges of the matching veil (included with purchase of the dress). The gown also features a cathedral length train and regal double box pleates (front and back) that create a fun and feminine "flounce" and sway. The train bustles with 20+ color-coded bustle ties into a gorgeous French bustle (a double bustle - two material folds - that resembles a waterfall of silk). The gown is of well-crafted, sturdy material and construction - excellent bust support and internal structure - including comfortable (but substantial) boning and double zippers (on an inside liner and on the dress itself), with perfect condition hook-and-eye closure at the top of the zippers.
The gown and veil were purchased together as perfect samples (original sample size 10 but tailored to a street size 2). I am 5'7" and wore 2.5-inch heels, with a bust size of 32B/C (125 lbs). Dress comes with cups the buyer may pin or stitch in if desired. Retail on the gown and veil set totaled $6,500.
The gown is in excellent condition (no sweat or underarm stains, no food or beverage stains, no discoloratoin inside or out; extremely minimal wear along the hem from it's single use, but the wear is not noticeable outside of VERY close inspection - disclosure legally required but definitely not something to be concerned about).
The gown and veil were both thoroughly cleaned and professionally packed with white-glove service by Wedding Gown Care Specialists / Museum Care Preservations, a member of the Assocation of Wedding Gown Specialists. The gown has not been handled since this extra-care packaging (veil removed only to inspect for this listing) and has been securely saved in a smoke-free, pet-free home.
