I've actually delayed listing this unbelievable gown for a few days because when I looked up the Melanie Harris website, I discovered that they only offer made-to-order, fully custom gowns made in NYC--which means there is a better than outside chance that this gown had been made for someone famous.
Because it's made to order, there's no size tag, but based on measurements I think it's best for a very well-endowed 6. I actually put one of my own heavily padded strapless bras on the dress form for the pictures and it still didn't quite fill out the bust area. (There's good support and boning in the bodice, so if you need to, you could easily add a bra and it would be secure.) The detailing on the gown is incredible and my camera can't come close to capturing the sparkle. It is FULLY sequined.
It looks to be EUC and I don't see any flaws. However, in the inner lining I spotted a couple of hairs from the previous owner's fur kid. FYI if you're extremely allergic. I can't tell if it's from a dog or cat.
This gown absolutely must be on a stage somewhere and is perfect for those who struggle to find gowns to accommodate a generous bust and also offer some arm coverage!
Shoulders: 16.5ish seam to seam (hard to measure with the deep V)
Bust: 19, but lined, and there is a bit more room lower down where your actual boobs might go
waist: 15, but again, lined
hip: 19
length: 56 at the shortest point of the scalloping, about 56.5 with scalloping down the front. Slight train in back.
bicep: 6
sleeve length: 10 down inside
V dip: about 7.5 straight down
No stretch.
