DESCRIPTION:
This is a gorgeous couture wedding dress made by designer Paloma Blanca. It is part of the now-discontinued "Diva" line, which was designed for plus-sized women. Please be aware that even though the dress is labeled as a size 20, it runs VERY small and will likely fit someone closer...
to a street size 14 (in the pictures below, I wore approximately a 16W, and as you can see, the dress doesn't zip all the way up on me). I bought this dress off the rack at a bridal salon and had every intention of losing enough weight to fit into it by the time my wedding came along (don't we all?). With six weeks to go, it's not looking promising, so I'm going with another option instead and hoping someone else can proudly wear this lovely gown on their wedding day. It is brand-new, with tags attached, and has never been worn except to try on. The gown is a deep ivory/champagne satin A-line with a beige/taupe embroidered sash at the top that trails all the way to the end of the chapel-length train. There is a row of covered buttons all the way down the back of the dress. It is classic, simple, and elegant, and I truly regret that I will not be able to wear it on my wedding day. I do not have exact measurements for the dress, as the Diva line has been discontinued by Paloma Blanca and I have been unable to obtain the size chart. Based on my experience with the dress, I think it would likely fit a street size 12-14. Original retail price for this gown was $1900. I'm asking $900; it's essentially a one-of-a-kind gown (I've looked for it elsewhere with no luck!), and it is VERY well made, with a full lining, a thin built-in crinoline, and a thick elastic strap on the inside to keep the bodice in place. The first picture is the stock photo of the dress; the other three are me trying it on in the bridal salon (please forgive the ridiculous bra straps, watch, and racerback tan!) Please email me if you are interested! Thanks for looking!
