This dress is truly fabulous. Like all Kenneth Pool designs, this dress luxurious and lush and completely amazing. If you've always wanted to wear real high-end silk satin, this is a perfect chance. No other fabric comes close. Silk satin reflects a soft glow and lights up the face beautifully (exactly what people mean by 'radiant'); you'll look gorgeous in the wedding photos. Silk also 'breathes' and is cool and comfortable to wear. If you've ever seen/felt real silk, then you already know.
This dress was a popular sample and is in great sample condition. It has some smudges on the skirt and dust on the hem from being tried on in the salon (see photos). There are a few minor snags in the bodice overlay which are difficult to see unless you're looking for them; there's one section of the overlay measuring 3/4 of an inch that was mended near the left back strap. I've included a photograph and have others, message me for details.
The dress has been priced very low to give more brides a chance to wear a Kenneth Pool - You'll save over $5000!
A preservation-grade keepsake box including a companion protective layer comes with the dress at no extra charge to help with transit and storage; see photo. The handle on the outer box makes an easy carrying case and shipping box, perfect for destination weddings or simply for ferrying your dress to and fro because you'll want to show everyone.
I've taken many many photos and if you want to see more, just ask. If you aren't near Boston, we could arrange a video chat so you could see the dress in real time for additional views and to help answer any questions. Currently am set up for Skype and Facetime but we could look into other apps.
I realize that a wedding dress can be a major purchase, both in money and emotion (it was for me!). I totally get that no one wants to spend all that money and then be stuck with a dress that they can't use. The ability to return a gown would have helped me feel a lot better, so I'm offering a return policy. Please help me by abiding by the details so that if you return your dress, another bride will be able to enjoy it just as much.
I also realize that there are unkind and untrustworthy people out there. Honesty and transparency are very important to me. If you'd like to hear what other people who've worked with me have to say, here are some reviews:

Be well!
