Worn once... By me! This dress is filled with happiness and joy of one of the very best days of my whole life!
Perfect for a beach or any summertime wedding, this chiffon silk floats like air and has a sophisticated, old Hollywood (think Ginger Rogers) feel to it. Bohemian chic meets old Hollywood with no expense spared! WOW!

It's made by Reem Acra. You can find this identical wedding gown in current wedding salons such as the Bridal Shop Winter Park, FL. "Base price" is $7500, this does not include tax, shipping (or heaven forbid expedited shipping if you want it within three months).
It's ivory and nude, made of extremely high quality silk chiffon, and the bodice is heavily beaded. The illusion back is to die for! Check out the beading on the buttons! It zips down the back but the seaming is flawless. The netting at the illusion neck is PERFECT, no snags or pulls.
I had it professionally altered: A 24 inch slit was made on the left side (just to knee length so when the breeze caught the skirt it would float, but not so high there is a risk of being inappropriate). The top of the dress at the shoulders was also taken up about 1.5 inches so the illusion neckline was not bagging. Unless you are especially long waisted, this should fit like a charm. The alterations are also flawlessly done.
Damage: The rolled seam at the bottom hem is very slightly soiled, not all the way around the dress but in three different places (about 2 inch strips). The dress is very long so if you are going to have it hemmed at any length, the dirty hem is a non-issue.
There is also a snag/pull at the bottom side in the silk skirt. It is almost imperceptible but it is there. Once the dress is on and you're moving around, I will assure you that no one will see the snag. The chiffon seems to float at the slightest breeze so peoples eyes just can't focus that fast even if they're looking for it. The beading and workmanship will have everyone's eyes looking at YOU!
If you have questions/ want more pix, please let me know. It's stunning!
SHIPPING: I will charge only actual USPS shipping fee which includes insurance. The insurance is what makes the shipping fee so expensive. I set the shipping fee at $80 anywhere in the USA, but if it is any less, I will refund you the difference immediately. I am not a seller who makes money from shipping fees :) BONUS: If you decide to keep the dress, I will refund your shipping fee 100%.
