1/ Holy shit, #ThriftFinds. Star of the show, a size 16 Christina Wu style 15500 ivory/blushpink dress that was at least $1000 new ($12 at Goodwill, put on floor July 2). Donated because of some missing beads on bodice.

So big it had to leave Goodwill in a large garbage bag.

This dress is weird.

2/ I'll try to dissect for nonsewing folks. Most of the clear beads, cup sew on crystals, and pierced crystals appear to be glass (why I bought it). The bodice is reasonably boned to support a size 16 torso. It has FOUR skirts: outer sheer flounce, blush opaque layer, fluffy tulle, then slip.
