Beautiful never worn bridal gown still with the tags.
Fit: Fitted with some stretch in the skirt and top.
Silhouette: Mermaid, fitted.
Sleeves: Long sleeve, sheer/illusion top with ivory and metallic embroidery and stitching.
Details: Boning in the bodice sculpt and shape and there is padding that is flesh-toned. Despite being fitted and somewhat modern, it is still classic and features elegant details like buttons on the back and on the cuffs of the sleeves.
This item was actually meant to be a sample dress that was going to be a part of the Fall 2017 collection for Alfred Angelo. However, in July of 2017, Alfred Angelo closed and this dress, was never released and never even tried on. It was going to retail for about $1,500.
I collect wedding dresses and this one made its way to me around the time it closed down. Although it was a sample, it was never tried on and never even put on the floor. It has been stored in a smoke free environment, in an airtight sealed garment bag and away from light and air. No yellowing or discoloration has occurred.
I'm now planning to move and am trying to downsize, so I'm afraid I must part with this gorgeous gown and I'm hoping it will make its way down the aisle dressing some lucky girl for her big day!

PLEASE NOTE - Since this was a new gown that was released just around the time that the company closed, there were no photos or campaign photos featuring the dress being worn by a model (at least none that I found when I tried looking via google). I didn't want to have a friend or someone else put on a dress that has never been worn to take photos. Now, luckily, thanks to Google, I did find two different style dresses from the same designer (Alfred Angelo) and from the same collection (Fall 2017) with a similar structure and detail and I did post them in the listing. I'm hoping that seeing them will allow you to get an idea of how it's supposed to look. As with any gown, alterations will probably be needed to achieve the exact look that you have in mind. I hope this helps and I hope it finds its way to the right girl!
