Selling my gorgeous Vera Wang Gemma Wedding Gown in Ivory US Size 4 (has been slightly alter down to US Size 2) by Haute Couture at Mandarin Gallery. Letting go at $4,600, (a saving of more than 60% off retail price)
Best fit : UK size 6-8 or US 0-2
3rd & 4th photo shows the actual gown with pastal pink sash but I ended up using a crystal one for a slightly more dramatic look.
This is one of the 3 dresses I wore for the wedding ceremony so it was gently used (for less than 3hrs) and dry cleaned after the ceremony. I am adding a long lace veil and crystal sash with this purchase. The gown is kept in its original Vera Wang bag and will come with the purchase receipt from 5th Ave.
There are so many beautiful aspects to the Gemma gown. Perhaps the most otherworldly element is the ethereal combination of French tulle and organza, something you wouldn’t expect in a gown with such a defined mermaid silhouette.
Still, this is a very soft mermaid with bands of tulle, wrapping around the body like a swirling cyclone, and ending in bias-cut flanges, which are deconstructed, abstract blossoms in tissue organza: it’s the perfect storm. Hidden under these rosettes were the “blizzard beading”: hundreds of tiny little sequins scattered all around. Once the dress is in motion, you get the thrill of that subtle play between lights and darks, but in the form of rosy, feminine blooms.
Between the blossoms and the beading, there’s certainly a pageantry in the base of this gown. It’s an absolute celebration of volume that is meant to be very dramatic, with the fantasy of a ball gown and the sensuousness of a mermaid gown combined. If you desire even more drama, a bride might choose to add a sequined belt for just a little flicker of beading, to really highlight the waist. Combined with the shimmer of sequins in the cut blossoms of the skirt, it’s a very dynamic look from every angle.
Gemma is one of Vera Wang (Main collection) most glamorous gown, giving the bride something slender and sleek up top, and at the bottom the flash and splash of sequins and dynamic volume, for the ultimate wedding day spectacle.
