Ok so I bought the dress in 2008 new from a bridal boutique in Charlotte, NC. My fiancé was in the navy and ended up getting orders to deploy for 9 months so we ended up eloping! I never wore the gown and it actually arrived weeks after we were already married. We originally said we would have a real wedding when he got back from deployment but 6 years later...we still have yet to have the ceremony. Sigh. So I've decided to part ways with the dress and now that we have a toddler running around, I don't think I'll be getting that ceremony after all.
I want to pass this beauty along to another hopeful bride and encourage her to NOT make the same mistake that so many other women do when they purchase couture gowns! There are so many sites to find used gowns that have stories similar to this one and are still preserved in the original packaging, unwrapped and waiting to make your wedding day as beautiful as your vows :)
Please consider this gown if you are looking for a couture dress and don't have the money for a new one! This dress is just like NEW and is BEAUTIFUL on and off the hangar! You will feel like a princess in the sweeping train and the hand embroidered beading down the bust and back. The fabric is decadent and a soft ivory that complements even the fairest skin tones (those of you blessed with darker tones...WHOA, look out!).
I'm selling it for such a fair price because I feel that each girl deserves her very own fairy tale wedding and this gown will make you feel like a princess! I've had SEVERAL HUNDREDS of dollars put into the alterations and the dress is complete (see below) with a European bustle (think Belle's dress guys). Please contact me for more pictures and details!
I've got several pictures so if you contact me I'll be happy to email them all to you!
