Please see my other items as I am having a huge clear out of items selected for cruising, weddings and other special occasions.

Elegant Velvet Ballgown .

Designer -Debut.
Labelled Size 18 but possibly a small size .

Approximate measurements taken lying flat:
Length - 59", bust 40", waist 36", hips 44".
These are variable due to the bias cut.

Photographed on my size 16 mannequin which measures:-
Bust 41"/104cm,   waist 34"/87cm,   hips 43.5"/111cm.

The dress fabric is a grey devore velvet on 72% viscose with 28% silk. The dress is lined in a blue acetate.
Devoré (also called burnout) is a fabric technique particularly used on velvets, where a mixed-fibre material undergoes a chemical process to dissolve the cellulose fibers to create a semi-transparent pattern against more solidly woven fabric.

The dress appears to be cut on the bias as there are no fastenings. It is a fit and flare / fishtail style. It features a cowl neckline at the front and double spaghetti straps on each side.

Please note that an option to upgrade to first class postage is already in the postage options (possibly in a drop down menu) and this would need to be selected when you pay for the item. I may use Royal Mail tracked 24 at my discretion
Payment supplements for 1st class/tracked 24 postage will not be refunded

Photographs of the outfit with accessories are included for demonstration purposes only.
