Ivory satin ballgown with box pleats and fitted bodice. Soft, stretch tulle-beaded back bringing straps over to front of bodice. Beadwork has specs of color - pink, yellow, turquoise. Beaded appliques on sweeping train and bodice.
Tulle built into the skirt so no crinoline necessary.
Size 10 (street size 6-8) - was told by local salon that it can be taken out an inch on both sides
I’m 5’5”, and when I tried on this dress at the local salon, without any shoes on, it was at least 3 inches too long. A little dirt under the hem, but shouldn’t be an issue if you’re cutting off some of the length.
The style was introduced in late 2003 or early 2004. At the time, it retailed for $4900. I bought this particular dress off of Ebay during the summer of 2004 (as a sample dress from a bridal boutique in California) for my fall 2005 wedding, which never happened. The dress has been stored well and is still in great condition. I initially kept the dress for quite a while because it was my dream dress and found it hard to part with. But as life got busier, I just let the dress hang around my closet. So it's time for it to go ...
The dress will come included with a set of beads directly from Reem Acra that go specifically with this dress. There are a few barely noticeable beads missing from the front bodice and train, but if you’re seeking perfection for your dress, then these beads will come in handy.
