Berta Beaded Gown Style 17-08

The dress of absolute dreams for a bride or gala! A long sleeve, backless, fully beaded gown by famous designer Berta, known for their modern & avant garde styles. Love them and galia Lahav. Part of runway Athens collection. I wanted something modern yet old Hollywood glam, sexy and jaw-dropping yet chic and classy, and this has it all. Basically I wanted it to look like I was getting married at the Oscars and this achieved that. SIZING: Berta size 38 or US 2, however I am a 4-6 US standard and this fit me like a glove. The dress has a natural stretch to it so anyone from 2-6 likely can make it work! CONDITION: Worn for 3 hours for my wedding rehearsal dinner. This dress retailed for $7,000. I purchased it as a floor sample, so it's missing a patch of beading on the left arm as well as a few small spots on the shoulders (pictured). I bought it despite this and did not even bother fixing spots in alterations because personally I thought it looked intentional /did not mind a few missing beads, but I'm pricing this lower since those beads are still missing. NO alterations were made to the shape of the gown, it is basically a clean slate! only modifications: added a slip and more mesh illusion on the chest to make plunge less revealing (pictured). This can easily be removed by a seamstress if you'd like, back to its original state. There was also a small sliver removed from train in case I wanted to use to replace the missing beads on the arm - will include with purchase.
