The condition the dress is in (minus the snags and the dirt it got from the store handling) is the condition I purchased the dress in from the store. I actually had some beads added, but not fully restored because I couldn't tell from far away and no one noticed either. Anyway, I got it imperfect from the store so that's how I got it half price and can turn around and offer it to you for a fraction of what I paid. The gown came from Kleinfelds and Kleinfelds replaced Reem's tag with theirs plus an identification number for store use that is sewn on the inside.
There are no papers or receipts, I only have the tag because my seamstress cut it off and handed it to me. I am very bad at that. I throw away everything. Please see pictures because these look like the dirtiest parts on the hem underneath. I took photos of all of this because my husband says I exaggerate things.
The dress WAS cleaned before the wedding since it had a weird store smell and some smudges from store handling, but from the state it is in now, you can't tell it was cleaned before the wedding. I only wore the gown for bridal protraits which is what mad it a tad dirty but wore a different gown for my wedding. Unfortunately, i gained weight faster than i could lose it and would love for someone to have the joy i had when i got this gorgeous gown. I will quote shipping if you are interested but if you have it cleaned on your own, the price will remain at 1800.00
If you would like to negotiate, I am open to reasonable offers.
The photos were taken next to our patio for natural lighting. Let me know if you need more information about the pictures or even more photos. I'm not trying to sell you something I wouldn't buy myself. I would like for someone else to wear Reem Acra on their wedding day.You can really tell the difference between a high end gown like this and a David's bridal gown or regular bridal shop gown.
What pictures would you like? Here are the
Links to photos in my album. I can take more of the details if you are seriously interested.
The dress really needs to be professionally
Cleaned. I can take it Professional Cleaner's in Sandy Springs, but they
Charge $450 for Reem Acra gowns like this. There are two visible snag looking parts that
I was going to get a professional seamstress to repair.
These snags are as small as a silver sequin. Three nice bustles were added that line up the
Appliques in the back (see photo). An extra loop underneath was also added to help hang it and keep it off the floor.
It all depends on if you want me to clean it
And get a seamstress of my choice to repair the snags or
If you want to do them yourself for a better price and
Comfort of your own professionals. I am asking for
$1800 - which includes the original tag from Kleinfelds on gown.{sample tag also with original price is included on tag affixed to front of gown}
It looks lonely in the closet. Let me know if you are seriously interested. It's a steal off of the $2,500 plus tax I paid if you can take it to your own cleaners and seamstress
I tried your dress on in the store and it was cute. Although is was not my first choice (the one I really fell in love with is very expensive) I looked nice in Paradise too. Can you send me pictures of the flaws and any rips and stains if your dress is still available. Is there another way I can write you? Do you have an email that I can send mail to?
Thanks,
Dayna
