****BRAND-NEW, NEVER-WORN AMSALE ASTOR BALLGOWN!*** Beautiful, elegant AMSALE ASTOR wedding dress is a "faille de soie bateau neckline ballgown with an illusion back." It is the ideal ballgown silhouette: full-skirted and luxurious but simple and elegant so that YOU really shine, with a sheer back for sexiness. It's a bridal size 8, street size 2. I bought the dress at Kleinfeld for my big Vegas wedding but--surprise!--we are eloping, so the dress has never been worn. It is in its original salon packaging with its tags. The only time it has been out of the protective packaging was when I tried it on and when a bridal dressmaker added color-coded bustling to the underside of the short train so you can lift the skirt one, three, or five inches for dancing or photos. Other than that, it is not only unworn, unaltered and in salon packaging, but I have sewn a sheet cocoon over that so my curious fiance couldn't peek at it!
I don't want to risk taking the dress out for photos (we have a black Lab and I don't want to risk adding fur to the beautiful fabric), so I will upload the Amsale/ Knot photos. The only difference between the actual dress and the photos is that the dress is more vanilla/ivory hued than bright white-white.
I am a street size 2, blond with light skin that tans almost olive in summer, 36 - 24 - 36, and the dress fit me absolutely perfectly when I tried it on wearing 1-inch Badly Mischka slip-ons. I was going to accessorize it with a dramatically feathered fascinator (a look my fashionista sister said was "very Alexander McQueen") to leave the back bare but it will look equally beautiful with a traditional veil.
It also has hidden pockets!
I love this dress beyond belief and if it were appropriate for my venue, I would wear it--but I want it to be properly showcased. I hope it becomes part of your dream day.
Thanks for looking! XO
