Sample gown, never worn for a wedding, still with original tags attached. If you like Monique L'Huillier's 'Meringue' and 'Clementine' designs, you'll love this one! Made in the USA, not in foreign factories. Wearing this dress supports US workers!
Appealing to both the Ball Gown and the A-line Fit-n-Flare silhouette, the fabric is a buttery smooth satin and the bodice twinkles with lovely sparkles. A satin cummerbund highlights the waist and dainty buttons down the back complete the look.
This dress is in excellent sample condition and could be worn immediately. There are faint dust smudges and 'hem dirt' on the skirt, typical of storage. The skirt fabric has a few faint runs in it in various places, likely from brushing the soft skirt against the jeweled bodice; the runs are not obvious except in strong light - see photo for an example. There are no rips or tears noted and no buttons missing.
Train from Waist: 56" (Chapel Length)
This dress has been priced very low to give more brides a chance to wear a Monique Lhuillier - you'll save over $5500!
NOTE: this dress has been photographed with an additional full crinoline underskirt. We have many photos of the dress without the crinoline too and would be happy to send them.
I've taken many photos and if you want to see more, just ask. If you aren't near Boston, I'd be glad arrange a video chat and show the dress for additional views and to help answer any questions. Currently am set up for Skype and Facetime but we could look into other apps.
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, perfect for destination weddings or simply for ferrying your dress to and fro.
I 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:
