This Vera Wang Lindsey 120413 gown is stunning and perfect for making a grand entrance at your wedding! The beautiful couture details include all over embroidered Chantilly lace, which gives the dress a very modern and elegant look. The mermaid silhouette bottom has many layers of bias organza and Chantilly lace that is surprisingly lightweight and comfortable on the body. The strapless silhouette is form fitting at top and I didn’t have any problems with it falling down during the time I wore it (12+ hours). The top has a built in bustier construction making it very sturdy.
Please note that this version does not have a beaded embellishment at the hip- I felt the dress was beautiful on it’s own and didn’t need anything additional to distract from the beautiful styling. You can easily add a belt or embellished hairpiece (which is what I did) to add a little glam if you feel you need it.
I live in New York City and am happy to show the dress in person if you would like to try it on. I purchased this at the Saks Fifth Avenue Bridal Salon. Original receipt and certificate of authenticity are available. Please feel free to contact me for more photos or if you have any additional questions! My hopes in selling it is that someone else will be able to enjoy it as much as I did for their special day!
Here is a more detailed description from Vera Wang:
Lindsey starts with a classic strapless mermaid silhouette, figure-hugging yet constructed to be extremely soft and comfortable. With a pliable stretch charmeuse lining, the corseted infrastructure is bendable and breathable. The dress is covered with a circular, netting-like lace, which has a very fine circular stitched pattern — it’s dense, but very elegant. On top of the circular lace, an appliqué of delicate strips of corded leaf lace float down the torso, for a dynamic, two-textured quality that plays gorgeously off the body. It all feels very light, very natural. Then there’s that effortless, swirling flange at the skirt, made up of bias tiers of Chantilly lace, circular netted lace and organza framed with bands of horsehair — a heady, dynamic bouquet of textures and patterns.
