The Dress

This Vera Wang Eliza dress was purchased in New York in August 2013 and was worn at a July 2014 hotel wedding. The dress was professionally cleaned immediately after the wedding, is in excellent condition, and is ready to be worn. The dress was purchased as a sample, which is why it is priced lower than other pre-owned Eliza gowns.

The tag size on the gown is size 8; the dress was professionally altered to fit a street size 2. In heels, my height is approximately 6'2 so very little was taken off the hem of the dress. The neckline was altered to a wave/sweetheart neckline. A plain ivory grosgrain sash which came with the dress (but is not pictured) is included.

The dress will be a final sale and payment must be made via PayPal.

Description from the Vera Wang website:

The timeless magnificence of lace is undeniable; in weddings, lace is as age-old a tradition as the institution of marriage itself. With Eliza, I have translated traditional into a more effortless way. The Chantilly & Alencon lace appliquéd bodice is complemented by a traditional ball gown skirt made of organza inserts, organized into an intricate pattern of tucks and pleats to create a sense of buoyancy.

A bride wearing Eliza will feel delicate and light, as if she is floating on the joy of her day.

As the wedding dress is usually the first decision after the date, time and location of the wedding, it creates an important source of ideas for other wedding details. Anytime lace is involved in a dress, such as with Eliza, the pattern can be carried through to other aspects such as invitations, table settings and decor. Eliza lends itself to inspiration that goes beyond the dress itself.
