On a whirlwind trip to the Berta NYC flagship store I purchased 7x gowns. The Berta showroom offers off the rack and one of a kind dresses that were made by the designer, but never went into full production - all size 38/approximately street size 2. These dresses are offered at a discounted price - and the price listed reflects this. I made the mistake of going alone and ended up buying every dress that I really liked knowing I could probably sell the dresses I didn't end up wearing...thus, it brings me to this site. This dress has never been worn by a bride or for a wedding. It is unique/one of a kind, never went into production and became an off the rack dress available for purchase. It is in sample dress condition. A few imperfections, but nothing that couldn't be addressed by a tailor. I am 5'5 and this could easily be worn by someone who is 6'0 or shorter. My measurements are 32 in bust, 25 in waist, 36 in hips. My cup size is a 32D.
This dress is the same net-like fabric as shown on Berta 16-18 and 16-09 - it has a good amount of sparkle, and it is a slinky net material that hugs the body perfectly. The neckline is unique with a sheer overlay and bordered with delicate/detailed silver beading. It does not have a built in bodysuit. In the photos I am wearing nude underwear and it worked fine.
