Russian designer Alena Goretskaya; model number: AG115; dress name: Artemiya. I was told by the bridal shop it was the only one in the United States (I did not conduct any research to validate this claim!). Organza, silk, and crystal beading done by hand. Worn once for my fun wedding on 7/13/13. No alterations other than having the straps removed. Because the tags are in Russian I have no idea of the actual size; however I'm 6' tall and I was around a size 12 so this gown can be altered to fit you. Professionally cleaned but not preserved. Slip included. I got a very good deal for it at $2500, selling for $1250.

Description of dress from website:
It is a luxurious dress on an internal corset for a modern girl. Complicated embroidery with intricate drawing decorates a dress bodice. Unusually gentle skirt is made of the leaves of the thinnest organza on a silk substrate. Bead cords with crystal beads flow down to the skirt from the embroidered bodice. The shoulder-strap is decorated with a crystal brooch.The model is made in soft cream colour.
