WEDDING DRESS - 2017 Carolina Herrera, Adeline
This gown is from the 2017 Carolina Herrera collection (Carolina Herrera's last collections, as she stepped down in Fall 2018 as creative director, handing the reigns to Wes Gordon). The Adeline dress is new to brides, very few brides in the world have worn this gown. This gown was the August 2018 window display at Washington, D.C.'s top bridal shop in Georgetown. If you don't have 9+ months to wait for this dress to be custom ordered from Carolina Herrera or want a designer deal, this is the way to purchase. Will take 9 months to order a new one. As it has only been worn on two days, for less than 24 hrs total. I bought this dress from a bride on this site based in London (she brought the dress to a friends house in London, so my friend could inspect it for me). The seller sent me a photocopy and email of the receipt from NYC. When I was searching, there was only two available for resale in the world. The other dress was in Houston, but a size smaller. I think this style runs slightly tight on the back zipper. I could not zip up the sample dress in bridal store). The top bodice is not lined, I wore a nude strapless bra (you can line it if you wish).
*Note: This dress is stunning, elegant, and surprisingly extremely comfortable and light. This dress PHOTOGRAPHS beautifully. The dress is in excellent condition. The bride before me had a wedding by the beach and the bottom front 1-2" of front lace had a little discoloration from a walk on the sand, I had it covered by the new layer of lace on the bottom. I wore it for 8 hrs at a historic building with stone floors, there is a little bit of wear on the hem seam, but nothing anyone would notice or show in photographs. To easily change the length, anyone can remove or move up the approx 6" lace extension I added on the bottom hem to shorten the length.
Please, serious inquiries and offers only.
If you are familiar with Carolina Herrera or this dress, it is worth a quick flight to come to Washington, D.C. and try on for yourself and save thousands. Carolina Herrera styles keep their value, and you should be able to re-sale after your wedding and re-coop most of the cost. I am happy to help brides who are serious and want to try it on or send a friend to inspect prior to shipping. Best of luck dress shopping, and enjoy the wedding process! Happy to set up a facetime live showing for serious buyers.
I found this dress/over-skirt to be more beautiful than all the other Berta, Oscar De La Renta, Monique Lhuillier, Vera, Ines Di Santo gowns I tried on.
