Advert Description
I am selling my stunning Maggie Sottero wedding dress, label says size 6 (US) which is an 8 UK (but I wear high street 8-10).
If you are looking for a sparkly but sophisticated, tight fitting bodice to show off your curves but with a full princess like skirt in a beautiful silky material this is for you! I felt like royalty wearing this dress and I want someone else to be able to love it like I did. It is ‘alabaster’ colour (slight golden tint, much more flattering for most skin tones).
The detailing on this dress is exquisite, photos don’t do it justice.
“Swarovski crystals adorn the bodice and shoulders of this drop-waisted A-line dress. Soft pleats and classic sweatheart neckline with modest illusion back complete the look of this soft-shimmer Satin gown.”
The dress length was altered, I am 5ft4 and wore a small heel. A French bustle was fitted to pull up the train to enable easier dancing. The dress was worn for 10 hours total. I have hand washed the skirt of the dress as I did not want to risk any damage to the beading on the bodice, there are a few small marks on the underskirts and bottom edge of the dress but these are not visible when wearing the dress.
There are 2 loose button loops at the back and the inner hidden elasticated strap has snapped off, this would be simple for any seamstress to fix but could also be left as the buttons and zip still close the dress from the outside.
I have a veil that is similar in design to the detail of the dress which will be included (although was bought separately from the dress). I will also provide the underskirt that will match with the dress when the bustle is up, this was unused as I forgot it in my hotel room! I wore a fuller underskirt with 2 hoops and longer train which took most of the brunt of the marks from the floor.
I am happy for anyone to try the dress with a few friends/family members present. Cost £1200 new before alterations, worn only for 10 hours, selling for £400
