This gown was custom made by NYC designer Tatyana Merenyuk. I wore it at my wedding on 5/5/2014 in the Highlands in NC. This is a very comfortable gown! I felt at ease in my dress all day long. It photographs beautifully and has amazing movement. This is Tatyana's "Annie" Wedding Gown Silk Hand Gathered Bustier Gown so no bra is needed underneath. Dress is made from 100% Silk Chiffon and 100% Silk Haboti and 100% Silk Charmeuse for Lining(matching color) so it is not see through. The dress is outlined by a Crystal Sash. This Dress is Build of off a Bustier and then the fabric is gathered on the Bustier, hand sewn and pleated on the Bustier. The skirt is Very full! There are a lot of panels of chiffon sewn together and hand gathered around the waist! Hook and eye closure in back, like a bustier. I paid extra for draped sleeves, which you can tuck in for dancing and photos if desired. I also paid extra for the detachable train that hooks onto the back of the gown. It is worth noting that I paid $1,625 last year but this gown now retails for $2,700. Gown has some slight snags because of the extremely delicate silk layers. I had a short intimate outdoor wedding. Reception was a small private dinner indoors. I took photos in tall shoes outside but gown was made extra long so there are light dirt marks on the bottom of gown and one grass stain. I tried to carry as much as possible during portraits and the ceremony. On the back of dress there is some silk pulling out of hem. Looks like it can be easily fixed. Probably from me standing on the layers or walking. A few pin head size marks that are probably makeup. Lots of silk layers so many of the little marks (most appear to be removable) get lost in all of the layers of silk. Upon inspection I don't find any major defects in this gown. All rhinestones in crystal belt are in place. I think it is in very good used condition. Color is "natural white". Contact me for upclose photos and any questions. I'm happy to address anything about this gown and I want the buyer to be 100% satisfied with this purchase so please ask away! :)
