This dress is brand new. It has never been worn or altered and is still in the original packaging so you will know that you are the very first person to try it on. I purchased it prior to my wedding, but when we chose the venue, the gown didn't really suit it so I ended up buying a different dress. In the meantime, the boutique had already ordered this gown from the designer in Europe and couldnt cancel the order.
Based on my experience trying on the floor dress at the boutique (as I said, I have never tried on this dress. You will be the first to ever wear it), this gown is a beautiful, flowing dream. It is fitted about to the hip bone and then flows out in layers of tulle. The beading on the bodice is exquisite. It shimmers when you move without being overwhelming and there is something really timeless about the detail work, particularly at the neckline. I also loved that it wasn't heavy or constricting. It was actually the most comfortable dress I tried on.
But don't take my word for it. The dress is living at my parents' house in downtown Denver waiting for the right bride to find it. My mother is happy to do showings if you'd like to see it yourself before purchasing.
