AMSALE A424 COUTURE - SIZE 8
NEW AND UN-ALTERED!
This super flattering dress is an A-line cut with intricate embroidery and beading at the bust. The dress is a silk faced satin, soft and silky feeling. It is perfect for petite women or anyone wanting to elongate or slim her shape. Absolutely stunning and rich - typical of Amsale quality design. I am not normally a fan of embroidery, but this embroidery is done very well and tasteful; the beading is just enough to add a little interest to the bust area.
The skirt can be as full or as slim as you want it. There are 7 layers to the skirt: 1 top silk faced satin layer, 5 tulle layers, and 1 inner petticoat layer. I was planning to take out most of the tulle and tighten the hip/upper thigh area so it would fit more like a fit and flare. The Amsale consultant told me it could easily be done during alterations.
For your reference in the photos - I am petite 5'-0", size 2 (bridal 6). I am standing on an 6" box with 4" heels to show you the full length of the skirt. The dress is made for someone 5'7" to 6'0" with heels and intended to be altered. Because the dress is a too large on me (I am also small chested) it's not hugging my body nicely, especially in the hips - it will look much better on someone who can better fill out the gown and after alterations. The dress has been stored sealed in its original garment bag, so there are currently wrinkles - it will need professional steaming which will be done after your alterations. The length of the front part of the gown is 53.5" from bust to hem. The length of the back part of the gown is 66.5" from top of back to hem. The photos were taken with and without flash so you can see the way the material interacts with different lighting.
If you are in NYC, feel free to come by and try it on to see/feel the luxury for yourself. I can deduct $100 from the dress if purchased in person.
I am happy to provide additional photos upon request. Let me know if you have questions!
