Monique lhuillier Sophie
Never Worn Dress: UNWORN AND UNALTERED I bought this dress at a Monique Llhulier Sample Sale. I found the two most beautiful and most expensive dresses at the sample sale. I thought wearing two gowns was a cool idea. When it got closer to the wedding, I decided that the wardrobe change would take away time from enjoying the wedding, and I chose to not wear this gown. My loss is your gain!
This dress is a work of art with hand-sewn flowers/sequin/applique! It has floating layers of flowers appliquéd. Very stunning. SILK WHITE FLORAL EMBROIDERED TULLE STRAPLESS DROP WAIST CORSET BODICE WITH ASYMMETRIC CASCADING SKIRT. From the Spring 2011 PLATINUM/LEGEND COLLECTION.
Dress can be easily taken in or shortened with seamtress.
This gown has Never been worn to a wedding/event, so you don’t have to worry about a pre-worn wedding dress that someone has danced and sweat it all night. This dress is the epitome of the perfect fairytale dress.
I'm 5Ft5 and wore 3.5 inch heels and there was still a few inches hitting the floor, so there is plenty of room for alterations to make the dress look like new. There is a small rip in the back of the corset; It is a size 10, but I was going to have it altered to a size 4/6 and the seamstress said it wouldn't be a problem, and that can be easily fixed, or if taking in, will be completely removed. Also, if shortening the dress, you can take the fabric and flowers from the bottom and cover it up. Unnoticeable until pointed out. The hem is slightly dirty on the outer 1-2 inches, but would be cut off when altering the length anyways or dry cleaned. Not trying to make a profit. Now that the wedding has passed, I'm just hoping to retrieve the money I spent on the unworn gown:)
Less than Half the price for a gown that has not been worn and is yours to alter.
Gown has been stored in its Bridal Garment bag since day of purchase, and it has been hanging in a dry and clean closet.
No alterations have been made to this gown, gown was purchase "as is". I was told at the sample sale that it is really easy add cups, take down multiple sizes if needed or add your own touch if you wanted too.
If you need any other photos or have questions... don't hesitate to ask. If you live in LA, I would be willing to let you try it on. Can ship to any state. No returns or exchange. Can email you more picture with actual dress upon request.
