Absolutely stunning Ella by Essence dress.

Purchased for around $1500 from Simpsons in Palmerston North. Selling for just half that price - a bargain!

Fitted my wife who was around a size 10, and approximately 160cm in height (she also wore shoes that had a 5cm heel, so around 165cm).

It appears to be quite flexible in size and she thinks it will be fine for 10-12 easily. The label says "UK 9 AUS 9 USA 6"

It is a strapless dress, but also includes detachable straps.

Has boning in the bodice and lace up back. Detailing all over. Absolutely stunning looking.

Certainly a bargain at this price. No longer have a use for it, so must sell. Did consider keeping it for when we have a daughter, but we've been granted boys!

It has been stored well since our big day. It was professionally dry cleaned straight after the wedding and has been in a gown bag and hanging up since. If there is any dirt or marks, I certainly can't find it. Immaculate.

We are also considering selling it via a store if it doesn't sell on trademe.

Will ship, but I have no idea how much it would cost or how to package it safely, so prefer pickup.

I also have a pair of Lucia Rossi size 7 shoes that matches the dress, worn once and worth $130, and the veil to complete the full look. I will be auctioning these separately after the dress sells, but the winning bidder can negotiate on these.

Note : There seems to be constant regular watchers - same 5 people over and over. No I'm not going to offer it out cheaper, as I've offered it twice now.
