The Dress

This beautiful lace gown was purchased in 2019 at David's Bridal, stored in my non-smoking home, and professionally dry-cleaned immediately after our wedding last November. The dress looks brand - new! No stains or rips! I believe David's Bridal is still carrying this dress, at least it is advertised on their website, so one could try it on at their store to find first hand how comfortable and flattering this dress feels! I was pleasantly surprised after trying this dress on because so many dresses beforehand were not easy to wear. Please note the gathering of fabric to the left side, as this gives a flattering aspect to the dress. A professional seamstress created a bustle for easy reception wear and added the gorgeous sleeves- perfect for fall/ winter weddings. I truly hope this dress finds another bride!! I loved wearing this dress and would say "yes" to the dress all over again! The reason why I'm selling it: to give someone else the opportunity to wear it. It would be a shame to me if it doesn't get worn again after all the loving work into it. I imagine by the time a potential daughter could use this, it would be out of style.
I searched for a dress with sleeves & couldn't find any that I liked. They either had funny looking strings poking out at the neckline, sort of like a fringe, or they were too confining and I wasn't able to raise my arms up comfortably. I wanted to be able to hug my husband freely on our wedding day. So, all that to say, I bought this dress with a vision in mind, which is why my asking price might seem high at first glance. I took my total investment cost and slashed that to a reasonable price for a dress with sleeves. I have extra lace fabric from the sleeve addition alteration that you may have upon request if you'd like to have this in case you need to make any alterations at no extra charge. I am also including the bridal dress bag for safe keeping until your special day! Please don't hesitate to ask questions; I will answer as I am able. Thank you for your interest and happy dress hunting!! PS, the only dancing is included in the video. This dress really had very minimal wear, but was very loved those few hours I wore it!
