Black sparkly evening ballgown, party dress, prom dress, sample evening gown
$1,045.07
This black gown is sewn entirely by hand. The cap sleeve cape is elasticated on the neck edges so that the cap sleeves can be worn off the shoulder, or on one or both shoulders.
APPROXIMATE MEASUREMENTS 8 to 10 UK size
The measurement from the natural waist (NOT the drop waist of the dress) to the front hem is approximately 114 cm (45 in)
From the natural waist to the centre back of the train hem is approximately 135 cm (53 in).
The front neck is quite high, it sits just at the top of the cleavage.
Back v-neck approximately 25 cm from nape of neck
The dress has light weight bones inside the bodice, in between the lining and the dress so they do not show. The front neck is lightly wired inside the hem edge so that you can press the neckline to fit you.
The skirt of this mermaid gown has several layers of black tulle and lightweight black lining, with one layer of lining next to the skin so that the tulle will not rub against your legs.
100% Polyester beaded foiled organdy fabric, lined with 100% Polyester. Because the beads are foiled onto the fabric they are permanent rather than glitter which tends to come off like dust.
A sample dress that has been on show at exhibitions. Cost of a new dress in this style from £1750. This sample looks like new but may have a very few slight imperfections, so it is for sale at a sample price of £800
There is only one dress available. Message me for information about custom orders. This fabric is discontinued in black.

Information I Collect
To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorised Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order of a scarf, for example), if you contact me directly.
Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It
I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
• as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
• when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
• if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
• as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
• Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
• Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.

Are your products sustainable?
I print the cards myself onto a 190 gsm sustainable English watercolour paper which is lightly textured, acid free and archival with the surface prepared for digital print on both sides. So if you want a custom greeting inside the cards, which are normally blank inside, then it may be possible for me to print some text inside. The cards are packed in compostable clear corn starch bags. Prints are on sustainable digital fine art papers. I specialise in using silk and natural fibres to hand sew scarves, bags and accessories. Many materials I use are made of natural, organic and recycled fibres, sewing everything by hand which reduces my power consumption, and upcycling old dresses, I often re-use packaging to send you your orders.
