Rachel Gilbert Francesca Gown - US 8 BUT ALTERED TO US 2/4!!!

Gorgeous gown worn for 3 hours for my wedding after party. Completely hand beaded and embellished so it is a fragile piece. Absolutely stunning in person and photos. I bought a US size 8 because it was sold out online in every other size, and had my tailor take it down to a US 2/4. It’s pretty stretchy, but here are my measurements below - Bust 34 in Waist 28 in Hips 36 in Length 42 in I had cups sewn in but can be removed as pictured. I also had beads added to the back of the straps (they come just plain white which I didn’t like). Also, there is an inside mechanism (pictured) that creates a corset-like style where you can adjust the waist to be bigger or smaller. From website: The Francesca Gown is a signature style to Rachel Gilbert, adorned with intricate hand embellishment. Meticulously crafted, taking upwards of 200 hours to individually hand sew the Francesca was designed for your most special moment. This style is designed to be form fitting, it is crafted with an internal corset to provide a natural hourglass shape. The construction of the bust and waist of this silhouette has little stretch, however it has give through the hips. We recommend ensuring your bust measurement is taken as the indicator of your size, and if you are in-between measurements to size down.
