For Sale: Sottero Midgley ADORAE DRESS label size 6

[TheWolferts]

Hi DW brides!

 

I am selling my size 6 Sottero Midgley Adorae dress (http://www.sotteroandmidgley.com/dress.aspx?style=JSM1307LU&page=0&pageSize=16&keywordText=&keywordType=All). It's a fit and flare gown with sweetheart neckline and corset closure. Demir Stretch Satin provides sleek luster to this slender silhouette. Ruching envelopes the bodice and asymmetrically plummets below the waist, while the train pours into a gorgeous balloon hem. Since I know wedding dresses have weird sizing, this dress is a label size 6; however, I am 5'3.5" tall and weigh 120 lbs. and generally wear a size 0 or 2 in street clothes. Because of the corset closure, I would imagine it fits a wide range of bust/back sizes.

 

I purchased this dress from Brides of Florida in March 2011 for $1,304.33. I put in about $400 in alterations to create a french bustle (bustles under and has color coded ties for easy bustling) and got the dress hemmed. I am 5'3" inches, but wore 4.5 inch heels and got it hemmed to my 5'7.5" wedding day height. I also spent about $200 on getting the dress cleaned so it looks 100% brand new with no scuffs, stains, or snags.

 

Because of the current high quality of the dress and alterations, I am asking $1,100 for it. I am located in Washington, DC, but am willing to ship (buyer's expense).

 

Below are some pictures of the model and me in it. The model below is shown wearing the "Ivory" color, which is the color I selected because their white is a "diamond white" which means it has shades of silver in it. Looking at my dress, I would never call it Ivory, but the manufacturer refers to it as ivory. Please let me know if you would like to see additional pictures or have any other questions!
