Strapless taffeta modified mermaid gown with sweetheart neckline, ruched bodice with dropped waistline and Empire hand-beaded embellishment, chapel length train.
I purchased this dress in 2009 from a previous bride. I actually never ended up wearing it so its only been worn once. I had it professionally cleaned and it looks nearly brand new. When I purchased it, the bottom of the dress was dirty (typical from an outdoor wedding)but I would say it now looks 95% back to new from the cleaning. I am picky so any remaining blemishes are very minor.
This dress is gorgeous in person and really accentuates all the right curves. I had a bra cup inserted for extra support. It feels very secure on your body and still allows you to move comfortably. You can also wear a mermaid petticoat underneath to give the bottom of the dress more "poof"
I would love to see this dress go to another lucky bride. I am willing to consider any offers within reason and will answer any questions you have.
