The Dress

Stunning 'Simone' gown by renowned designer 'Gwendolynne.'

The 'Simone' Dress is one of Gwendolynne's classic creations which includes her signature style of Art Deco influences while still remaining soft and etherial in silhouette. Lovingly made in Melbourne, Australia, the gown features a combination of pure silk, crepe satin and poly tulle falling from the bust creating an empire line. Includes detailed hand beading across the bust line, capped sleeves and includes a lovely key hole back. The back features a vintage inspired clasp designed by Gwendolynne positioned at neck to create a soft and elegant line.

On a personal note, I loved every second I spent in this dress - it is so beautiful, comfortable, and forgiving in all the right places! Please know that I cannot part with it for less than the listed price. It will be hard enough to give it up, even if it is just hanging in the closet. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever put on and I would love to think that it will go to someone who will love it as much as I do.

I would be happy to include the veil for an additional $50 - paid $150 for it.

I had the ribcage taken out just a hair to give it a little more breathing room - the woman who did the alterations works at a very upscale wedding boutique on Newbury St in Boston and you cannot even tell it has been altered. She did an amazing job. She also did some intricate bustling (color coded ribbons under shell to be tied up in 6 different places) so you will be sure not to trip on those beautiful wedding shoes!
