The Dress

This stunning custom made couture gown was designed and made by Steven Khalil. The dress fits a size 6-8 (small 8), size c Cup size. It is a strapless, mermaid style gown that is extremely flattering and figure-hugging to the knees. I felt amazing in this dress on my wedding day and had lots of compliments, so I'm excited for someone else to get as much joy and happiness from it!

The train is a glamorous 1.8 metres long which has a button and hook so that the skirt can be bustled up for dancing. This gown’s skirt is extremely light weight and moveable. The gown is made of 3 layers. The first layer of the gown is a beautiful French Chantilly lace, the second layers are a soft weightless tulle and then the bodice detail is a gorgeous thick 3D hand-beaded lace encrusted with crystals and hand-sewn pearls. Stevens lace truly is one-of-kind and unique, this is like nothing you will see in bridal shops.

This lace was used to make the arm bands to give an off-the-shoulder sleeve look, however I did not opt to use these. It also means you can have two different looks for the ceremony and reception if you like.

The gown cost $14,000. Veil is also included in price which is simple and longer than the train.

The bodice is in impeccable condition however there are three tears in the top layer of the tulle skirt as well as some pulls to the bottom which are only noticeable on close inspection. Two on the side and one where the button is to bustle. I have consulted a dress marker and she said it would be easy to cover this with beading or small stitches. The dress comes in the original Steven Khalil bag. I have taken consideration of this in the price and therefore am not willing to go lower and devalue the dress.

The dress has not yet been dry cleaned but there is only a few small marks in the under layer dress which will come out easily, I also have a Syndalls 50% off voucher for the buyer. I have not pictured the tears but am happy to discuss them with interested buyers. There are also additional layers of material you can have added/sewn in if you want a fuller look in the skirt.
