White Satin & Chantilly Style Lace Strapless Wedding Gown by Demetrios Sz 12 

The Basics:

• Designer: Demetrios
• Color: White
• Size: 12
• Fabrics: Satin and lace

Details

Bodice Style: The strapless lace bodice has a sweetheart neckline and dropped waist. The dress is fully lined with a back zipper.

Skirt Style: The skirt is medium full a-line with an over-layer of satin that is gathered up on the right side and draped in a curve across the front. The underskirt is the same lace as the bodice. We added one of our semi-full slips underneath to fill out the skirt so you can see its shape. (Slip available for $49 and ships free with your gown). Without the extra slip the skirt would drape closer to the body.

Train: sweep length train

Embellishment:

A very romantic and pretty gown made from matte satin and Chantilly style lace. The lace is embroidered with subtle silvery threads and lightly beaded with tiny sequins and white and silvery beads. The skirt is pulled up into a gathered drape on the right side and held with satin flowers and a spray of feathers. Lace covered buttons trim the back zipper. 

Approximate measurements*:

*A note on measurements

Our gown measurements are approximate. It is not possible for us to provide a custom fit gown for you. Most wedding gowns will need alterations to fit you well. We recommend that you buy your gown too big rather than too small. It is usually easier to make a gown smaller rather than bigger. Gowns cannot be returned because they do not fit you unless we have made a significant error in our measurements.

Condition:

This gown is a sample from a bridal salon. It is in very good condition. When we were steaming it for our photos we noticed a few small pulls in the satin skirt. These are very minor and you really have to look to find them. The gown is very clean except for some minor dust where the hem has touched the floor so you may prefer a light dry cleaning.

Each one of my gowns comes with a plastic hanger and cleaners type plastic bag.

As with most formal and bridal fashions, our gowns and accessories are not returnable.

About our Gowns

Most of our gowns are either vintage or samples:

• A vintage gown can be anywhere from 10 to 100 years old. Often they have minor imperfections. Slight discoloration of the fabric, beading and trim is very common. Vintage gowns can be more fragile that new gowns because the fabric and thread have aged. Most brides prefer to have these dry cleaned before their wedding.
• A sample means that the gown is new but has likely been tried on and/or displayed. Some are brand new with tags. Even the brand new ones may need a bit of TLC to fix loose beads, re-sew a hook or loop, or take out a spot here and there. Most brides prefer to have these dry cleaned before their wedding.
• And, of course the gown will need to be ironed or steamed after shipping.

Many of you want to know the history of the gowns that you purchase from us. Normally we buy gowns in bulk lots and do not know their individual histories, but we are always happy to share any information we do have. And… advice is always FREE! We love to help you with gown selection, styles, fabrics and anything else you may want to ask.
