I purchased this beautiful Vera Wang gown in the Macy's Bridal Boutique this past January 2012.
A few days after I purchased the gown, my fiancé and I decided that we are going to adjust our wedding plans and do something a little simpler such as a wine tour. All that being said, this is no longer the perfect dress for me.
It is a sample gown, and from what I can gather was barely tried on at all. There is some slight damage to the tulle at the very bottom of the gown (very long, never been altered and if you are 5' 9" or less, it will no doubt be cut off with a hem) and some fraying on the back near the zipper where the tulle got caught in it. The ladies at Macy's assured me that these were very minor repairs.
At the end of the day, this gown had an original price tag of $5,640.00 - I was lucky enough to pay less than half of that. I am willing to entertain fair offers as my wedding is coming this June 22 and we all know that means I am already in the rush charge zone for ordering a new dress.
Thank you and congratulations on your engagement!
