The Dress

THE DRESS
Wow your wedding guests with this showstopper ‘Sabine’ gown by Gwendolynne. This incredible gown features luxurious satin silk with an intricately hand beaded tulle overlay and a breathtaking open back detail.

Stunning Gwendolynne ‘Sabine’ silk underlay with hand beaded tulle overlay wedding gown in approximate size 6- 8 (Australian size, it was made to measure).

It is a stunning vintage style design. The silk slip is cut on the bias and is a flattering antique ivory colour which looks amazing in wedding photos with the tulle overlay.

The gorgeous overlay features hand beading and the detail is incredible; art-deco style beading over the entire dress, gorgeous beaded capped sleeves and an amazing brooch style clasp on the neck. The keyhole back is extremely elegant.

The Gwendolynne Sabine dress looks amazing on so many body types, but it is also one that a bride with a fuller figure can feel and look a million dollars in. The way the beading sits across the midriff minimizes a full bust, and accentuates the waist. Gwendolynne has considered and refined this design; introducing detailing on the tummy, hip and tush area…angular art deco detailing lengthen the body. This glamorous style emphasizes a girl’s best features and is delightfully comfortable too!

The other great thing about this dress is that you can replace or dye the silk slip and wear the dress again as a stunning ball gown! Red, green, purple, grey- whatever colour you want! The beading has been cleverly designed so you can cut the dress to be tea length or ankle length ball gown.

The dress also comes with a little packet of extra beads.

The dress originally retailed for $7,500 AUD [removed] CAD). I had $100 of additional alterations made and had the dress professionally dry cleaned for another $100.

I wore this gown for my wedding in December 2017. I wore the beaded overlay for the ceremony and dinner, and then removed it and wore just the satin silk dress with a sequin top for dancing, as I wanted to keep the overlay in top condition. There are no stains, no tears or repairs, and the beading is just as perfect as the day it arrived!

BONUS:
I'll throw in the sequin top so you can do a post-dinner look change too. This is over $200 CAD value! Take a look here: https://www.bhldn.com/product/ellery-top-copper

Alterations

I had the straps loosened and the tulle let out to accommodate my chest size, but these simple alterations are quite easy to revert.
