General information & background
 
Vera Wang Collette is a chic, unique, and unconventional choice for a wedding dress -- and is a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind vintage Vera. Collette is a sleeveless fit-to-flare gown made from dense, crisp silk faille. The bodice has a mock neckline, full back coverage, and unusual seams that enhance the natural curves of the body. The skirt gets its drama and movement from the godets. Godets are long triangular insertions of fabric that create volume in a skirt. In this dress, the godets are plentiful and full, which gives the skirt the "swish" that makes a gown so fun to wear. The skirt is finished with wide horsehair trim and a minimal sweep train.
 
Collette pairs well with a traditional long veil that is trimmed with lace or soutache.
 
Size & measurements
 
Measurements must be used to assess whether a gown will fit you or can be altered to fit you. A gown can usually be made 2-3 sizes smaller without compromising the design, but can rarely be made more than approximately 1/2-1” larger without making major modifications. The exterior measurements of this dress are as follows:
 
Bust - 38"
Waist - 32"
Low waist - 39"
 
This gown is approximately a modern size 10-12.
