Dear all,
I am looking to sell my Vera Wang Gemma dress (Ivory with Ivory beading) which was purchased at the Vera Wang flagship store in Madison Ave last year. It is a beautiful and flattering gown, on which I received countless compliments. Even my very fussy husband loved it. I wore it once at my church/hotel wedding in late December 2013, after which I had it professionally cleaned at the Jeeves London store in Singapore.
The dress was shortened a few inches at the joint between the bodice and the skirt, and is in very good condition. It is a Size 4 in the Vera Wang label. For reference, I am a UK size 8, or US size 0-2. I am 5'1 or 155cm, (5'6 or about 167cm with wedding-day heels on).
Please contact me at [email protected] for pricing details, or if you are interested in viewing the dress (for serious buyers only, please).
Looking forward to hearing from you!
More detailed description of the dress from the Vera Wang blog: "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: I didn’t want anything to be too rigid. We used 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. Inside these rosettes I’ve added what I call “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 my more glamorous dresses, 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."
