A
stunning CATTIVA (NEW YORK) Cream, Lined, Chiffon Dress and Unlined Jacket with bead decoration, size UK16 (but please do see all the
measurements and sizing advice that I have given below) It has been worn once by the Mother
of the Bride for a few hours only. Unfortunately this chiffon material is
very delicate and on very close inspection I can see a few tiny clicks on the
Jacket sleeves and a couple on the floaty lower skirt part of the dress – it’s
still a beautiful outfit, and although I still consider it to be in very good
condition for a worn once outfit, it isn’t “perfect”, which is reflected in the
price. Please see the last zoomed in photo (apologies for the slight loss of colour) for an idea of how small the clicks
are. The Outfit has not been dry cleaned, and whilst I can see no marks
I have allowed for a dry cleaning bill on top of the price to allow you to have
it professionally cleaned and pressed before a special occasion if you
wish. Weight 450g
There are lots of photos, please use the arrows to the right hand
side of the photos to see them all. You can also enlarge the photos to see all
the detail. To see all my outfits in your size, please click on the relevant
size link to the left hand side of this description, under the “Shop
Categories” title (e.g. Size UK 16)...
This
gorgeous outfit is a beautiful light cream. The material is a delicate semi
sheer chiffon. The colours in the photos are quite a good match on my laptop...
The
sleeveless Dress is fully lined in a cream silky satin material. It is
sleeveless with a V neckline front and back. The Dress is cut on the bias
(gliding over any unwanted lumps and bumps!) and it just slips on with no zips
or buttons to spoil the drape. The lower skirt of the dress has godet inserts
and drapes beautifully from a diagonal seam which starts about mid-thigh.
The
matching Jacket is unlined and quite floaty with gathers down the front open
edges held in place with beaded loops. It has long sleeves and same material
covered slim shoulder pads (which would be easy to remove if preferred) and is
longer at the centre front and back than the sides. At each centre front point
there is a clear faceted bead, a trademark of this particular Cattiva design.
This
is a superb classy, dressy outfit for any special occasion – I think it would
make a wonderful outfit for a Mature Bride, Mother of the Bride/Groom, Wedding
guest, Cruise Wear, Dinners, Parties and Races etc.
Necklace

If you are
buying this for a special occasion why not recoup some of the expense and re
sell after the event for someone else to enjoy...
