*The dress is 43 inches from shoulder to hemline. When I filled this out, I wasn't sure how to answer the "Height with Shoes" category, since this is a tea-length dress. As a 5'5" woman, it hit me a few inches below my knees.
This is such a lovely, unique dress, and I want it to have a second life! The lace and beading details are absolutely incredible, and if you're a fan of antique aesthetics, you'll adore it. There's a lovely, subtle, geometric pattern that has an art-deco vibe to it, and the whole thing screams "vintage beauty!" without the struggles of wearing such a fragile, old dress. The fabrics are all such high quality, never itchy, and light. Not to mention, because of the shorter length and fit-and-slare silhouette, it's so much fun to dance in! I twirled all night in this lovely little gown. I hope I can find it a new, loving bride, because this is a dress that deserves to be worn more than once and just stored away for an eternity.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions!!
Here's the description from BHLDN's website:
A lively mix of lace, intricate beadwork, and ultra-feminine details make this Tracy Reese original an irresistible choice for brides with a soft spot for vintage. The fit-and-flare silhouette, tapered at the waistline with a drawstring sash, hearkens back to Dior’s New Look style while a mesmerizing pattern of diamonds embroidered from pearly seed beads, is an inspired use of geometry. Crystal shank buttons are a glamorous addition to sheer three-quarter sleeves. Button closure. Professionally clean. Imported.
- This silhouette is fitted through the bodice. For best fit, size to the curvier of your bust and waist measurements.
- Can be shortened; using an experienced bridal tailor is recommended
- Tulle, lace, and nylon shell
- Silk habotai lining

*Some of the teeny seed beads seem to have maybe fallen off around the waist and armpit area, but I'm also not sure if it was always like that.
