Hello! This is my beautiful sweetheart ballgown style wedding dress that we spent quite a but of money on! It was just purchased in September 2017. It comes with the cape which is brand new! I did not wear the cape. The belt on the dress is tacked on and can be removed if you do not want to use it. The dress has minor signs of use for an 8 hour day. Nothing that you even notice when it is on. The dress has not been cleaned and has some signs of brushing against the ground but it is minimal and not noticable unless you flip the dress inside out.
The dress is altered and has $600 in alterations in addition to its $3,000 price tag. The alterations are a bonus being that I paid to have the belt tacked on so that it would not come off centered, have a tie up bustle system underneath the dress and had bra cups sewn in. I also had the optional spaghetti straps that the dress had get tacked on. You can easily take them off and transform the dress back into a strapless dress as how it was sold originally. There are also 2 pieces of 72 inch belt material which came from when I had the beaded belt tacked on to the dress. I am including them and they can be used for thicker straps, hair pieces, etc.
The top of the bra cup to the floor in the front is 54 inches in length. The dress is 54 inches in length all the way around when bustled. Across the belt the dress is 16 inches when laying flat and 17 inches from armpit to armpit. I am 5'6" tall and wore about a 2 inch heel. I also am a 36C bra cup, size 8-10 in women's pants, size medium/large in womens' shirts. The dress has an extremely flattering fit as it is fitting until around your belly and then starts to flare out. The dress also comes in its original clear thick plastic zip up bag.
I wore the dress just once for my wedding day and I really would love to pass it on at a very discounted price for someone else to enjoy. I just want my wedding dress to have more than one beautiful happy day!
