Penelope by Willowby - UK14
Another absolute classic from Willowby - the Penelope dress. Another style which is hugely popular but has been sadly discontinued. This soft netting and lace, A-line gown offers a sense of romance. Features hand-placed lace motifs on bodice. Illusion neckline, and a plunging back neckline. Sweep train.
The version in the boutique is in Ivory / Ivory and is in excellent condition. Unfortunately the sample dress has lost its tulle sash but this could easily be replaced with another in a similar fabric or could be changed to a sparkle belt. There are a few snags on the tulle skirt which would be removed if the dress needed to be altered. As the skirt is so full these are not that noticeable. Any purchaser may feel that the gown would benefit from dry cleaning to give it that 'as new' feeling.
The dress is in a US10 which is about a UK14. The actual measurements are:
Bust: 38"; Waist; 30"; Hips: 40.5"
