just as good as new. The traditional ballgown features a strapless bodice, dropped waist, and a full skirt. The bodice, sides, and back of the gown contains intricate embroidery in a bronze fabric, which really adds to the sophistication and elegance of the gown. I received a million compliments on my wedding day - the dress is very flattering, even for women who aren't a size two, and you can't beat the quality and workmanship of a Reem Acra gown. I am hoping to recoup a little bit of the cost of the gown (well over $5,000!) and I would also like for someone else to experience the feeling that wearing a designer gown such as this can give you. A free fingertip veil, petticoat slip (to make the skirt even fuller if you desire) can be provided upon request. I also have $200 Grazia shoes (style name Vanessa) available in a size 10 if you would like to wear them.
