The Dress
Available for sale until 5 March 2018.
This Berta dress is the most amazing dress you will ever lay your eyes on. After getting engaged I saw this dress on Pinterest and knew that it was the one for me. After originally thinking that i would keep this dress (and one day be buried in it), unfortunately we have no room in our apartment for this beauty - (Melbourne real estate). It is time for another bride to get the chance to wear this stunning gown. I received so many comments on the day.
This gown is really one of a kind, and I have not seen any other girls in it, it has rarely been for sale . I purchased this gown in August 2016 from Raffaele Ciuca in Melbourne at a Berta trunk show. This boutique is one of only two in Australia that stock Berta gowns. This gown is not stocked at either store and was in Australia only for the trunk show. At the time I picked it up (September 2017) I was advised that this boutique hadn't sold this gown to anyone else. This gown was then hand made in Israel and took 9 months to be delivered. The bodice is boned and the bottom is stretchy lace, it is incredibly flattering. It has thousands of beads all over the bodice and back, and sparkles when it catches the light. It is exceptional.
This gown has been kept in a pet free, child free home.
I am able to provide more photographs if needed, and can accommodate try-ons in Melbourne.
In terms of alterations, I had the exposed zip covered in the most beautiful pearl buttons. These buttons have also been wired so that they will always sit straight and in a perfect line. I also had the straps moved across around a cm (or so) at the front so that they sat slightly wider (which was flattering for the hard to kill under arm flab). I had a cup size added to the bust to make it a c cup ( can be easily removed or altered) and the gown was taken up. I am 167cm tall and wore 11cm heels. I am generally a true size 8, but as this dress has some stretch it would fit anyone from a size 6 to a small size 10. I also had a bustle added so that the train can be lifted if required.
It has marks on the lace under the train and bottom of gown from having photos in a garden. These should come out with dry cleaning. I have not had this dress dry cleaned as yet, because I am willing to have brides try it on.
