    Description

    Julia Kontogruni Ivory Embellished Mermaid Wedding Dress
    I have for sale a gorgeous wedding dress by European designer Julia Kontogruni, made in Europe. I bought this as a secondary option and ultimately went with a different style. It DOES need dry-cleaned. Please pay careful attention to measurements! This is a final sale item for obvious reasons. This dress is absolutely stunning; it retailed for around 3000. It is without a doubt the most comfortable dress I've ever tried on. It is tight, as mermaid-style dresses are, but being silk, and being constructed with the highest attention to detail, is very cozy and not-at-all itchy. The illusion material is also soft, unlike most that will end up causing your chest to be inflamed. The bust cups are paddable. I might say it has a Roman -esqe feel to it. The bodice has boning sewn in. The dress is heavy but not CRAZY heavy, being that it does not have a train. If you want more pictures, please send me a message and ask me any/all questions you may have before buying. Shipping is Priority-insured in a box. I pack with care.
    There are a few rhinestones that have popped out of their sockets, but that'll be no problem for a smart DIY'r or a tailor. There are a few snags in the illusion on the back; depending on your skintone, you may not notice it. I didn't. There's a couple hairline runs at the side of the hip, and the bottom of the dress has some spots and dirt that a dry-cleaner would handle easily. Personally, I would dry-clean first, then take to a tailor for adjustments.
    All measurements taken laying flat:
    The dress measures 58" long from top of the shoulder to the bottom.
    It measures 15" across the bust (note mannequin is 33"). I estimate it to be a C-cup, or MAYBE D. It measures 3" from the bottom of the cup to the center point of the cup; cup is 5.5" in height.
    The underbust measures 13" across. (I'm a 30b and it was comfortable, but the cups were 1-2 cup sizes too big for me)
    The waist measures 11.5" across. (I'm a size 0 in tops and it was good in the waist; I'm thin)
    The hip measures 15.5" across. (I'm a size 2-4 in pants and it was too tight through the butt/thighs; would work best for a 00 or 0)
    Mannequin's measurements are as follows:
    Bust 33"
    Waist 24.5"
    Hip 35"
    Height 5' 10"
    Disclaimer:
    Smoke-free home. Ships same day in most cases (Orders after 1pm EST ships next day). Everything sold as-is and are final sales! If it doesn't fit, relist! :) If you are an international buyer, please be aware that I am not responsible for import fees or duties.
    All items, unless specified new with tags or new without tags, may have been tried on or worn and may or may not show wear from laundering, and may or may not have been hemmed, so compare measurements! Ask questions!
    The "description" includes the full description of the item as well as all the high-resolution photos, so please review both carefully, zooming in on photos. Everyones' interpretation of "good" or "like new" is different from person to person, so I cannot give a sweeping generalization, but I will do my absolute best to detail every documentable flaw and include pictures of them.
    Flaws and signs of obvious wear include: pilling, color runs, pulls/runs/snags, holes, tears, ripped seams, and stains. If I notice any kind of unusual odor that is not typical for the fabric (i.e wool has a certain smell), I will detail it. Normal "mail smell", especially in hot, muggy weather, or "coat closet smell", etc) should be considered reparable by laundering or dry-cleaning, and therefore not a flaw.
    Sizes will be as specified on the item's label, along with translations if it's a European size, and any opinion stated on whether or not it runs large or small is merely my opinion and one should rely on the measurements instead, especially if you're unfamiliar with the brand or sizing.
    All photos are taken in a home photography studio in front of a neutrally-colored backdrop at about 5000k, which mimics outdoor light in cool, shady conditions. I cannot be held responsible for how your screen shows the color, as many monitors are over-saturated and uncalibrated. Perception of color varies from person to person and is impacted by the light you're looking at the item in, so you may notice a shift in color between what you see on the screen vs in-hand. (i.e. white looks like ivory in warm light, but may have a blue tint in winter).
    If you are unsure of the condition, or need more measurements, message me for further details. I cannot accept returns for fit, length, a different interpretation/perception of the color, dissatisfaction with the price, etcetera, as these all fall under buyer's remorse. If you choose to relist an item you find that you don't need or want, feel free to use my photos.
