Flattering Plus Size A-Line Wedding Dress
Figure flattering - asymetrical and runched. Internal support (thats right, no torturous undergarments required). Tag says 28 (26 in street clothes), but because of lace up back could probably accommodate both smaller and larger sizes. Worn 5 hours (indoor wedding). Purchased for $1300 at plus-sized boutique. Selling for $850 because it is in like new condition - a timeless flattering style for us "plus sized" women. Willing to knock off $100 to help offset cost of dry cleaning (no stains, no damage, just wrinkly with dusty bottom hem).
Not sure why I kept it so long, but Covid gave me the time to clean up all the closets!

Notes on the dress: the runching and beading is so beautiful and flattering, and for those with fuller arms like me, you'll be happy to know that it won't rub your underarms raw. Internal boning on the bodice helps keep "the girls" perky without tortuous undergarments that dig in. This dress is as comfortable as formal gowns can be!
Notes on pictures: One of these pictures is from a boutiques website and is marked as such (and clearly not plus sized but really well lit). Other pics are mine and unfortunately are not as well lit, but intended to show you the like-new (but wrinkly) condition of this dress. The dress is actually one color - ivory... some of the pictures have shadows on them so it isn't clear.
Notes on shipping internationally: I am willing to ship this outside the USA, but there will likely be a shipping fee that I would have to pass along to you. If you are interested let me know and I will get a shipping quote for you before you make a decision on the dress.
Closing notes: If there was any another reason I could wear an expensive ivory gown in public I would keep this dress. But since there isn't (and I'm only doing this wedding thing ONCE), I'll be happy to see this wonderful gown find another home!
