FOR SALE: Size 10, Never Worn Wedding Dress!

My wedding was canceled and now I have a beautiful, brand new, never worn wedding gown that I have no use for. I need to get rid of this dress asap and am negotiable on the price. If you are interested and would like to see some pictures send me an email and I will get you the information you desire. FYI: white, tulle bottom, strapless top, bead detailing, and small train. PLEASE help me get rid of this dress!

Do you have any other information about the dress? Who is the designer and what style is it?

I can, but just not at this second. The dress is at my parents house and I am at school right now. I will be going home tomorrow and will get all the information you would like. For now, if you click on this link it will take you to a picture of my dress. It was purchases at David`s Bridal and the style # is T8017.

Thanks for giving me the link- I like the dress very much. How much are you asking for it and do you have any idea about what shipping will cost? I live in Washington state.

I am so glad you like the dress!! I fell in love with it as well. I am asking $450 for the dress and am not sure how much shipping would be. My guess from what I have found online is that shipping can run anywhere from $35-$50. I would have to weigh the dress etc. To find out the exact amount. Do you need to see more pictures or is the website all you need to see? Also, just something for you to keep in mind, I have a tiara and veil that I matched up beautifully with this gown. Get back to me if you have anymore questions or need more pictures. Again, I need to sell this dress! I would not want to turn you away by price. I am negotiable. However, the gown is going for $549 at David`s Bridal and I am only asking $450 for a brand new, never worn, never altered, tags still attached, perfect gown! I hope to hear back from you!! : )

Hello again,
I just went to a David`s and tried on the dress and I`m really excited about it. I guess I just missed a sale when it was only $450 but they were still offering a floor modle at that price. I`d much rather give the money to a student than a gaint corporation, but at the price you`re suggesting, I`d end up paying more for your dress when shipping is included. Would you consider $325 and split shipping (provided it`s not totally crazy?). Hope to hear from you soon!

I really, REALLY appreciate you still wanting to purchase the dress from me!! That is teriffic to hear! Thank you so much!! Would it be alright with you if we worked it out so that you would just have to pay say $400 or $425? That would include shipping and if the shipping made it more than the $400 or $425 I would pay the difference. Would that be alright with you? Let me know what you think. Again, thank you so much for helping me out!! I am a poor college student and this would help me out a bunch!! Hope to hear from you soon!!

Hey there- Yes, I`m still very interested and $400 does seem like a fair price. I was thinking last night that you should net more than $300-- it sounds like you`re in a tight spot and I certainly wouldn`t want to take advantage of that- I`d really like to help you out if I can. Unfortunately, $400 is a bit more than I was planning to spend but I`ll talk to my mom about it and see if she can help out (I`m a recently-graduated-but-still-poor-college-student myself--I was an english major so go figure!). Anyway, would that price include your veil and if not how much do you want for it and what does it look like? Also, if everything works out, how should we handle the money? I`m assuming that you don`t take credit cards.
Waiting anxiously for your reply,
Heather

Ok, I realize that $400 is alot but that would include the shipping costs. So, depending on how much shipping is you would really be getting the dress for like $375 at the most. I really shouldn`t go any lower than that. I would have to charge a little extra for the veil because it did cost me out of my pocket to purchase. If you purchase the dress from me and want the veil to go with it I will cut you a deal by getting both. Originally I was planning on charging $30 or $40 for it, but I could probably sell it to you with the dress for like $20. I would need to do a little research first before I can promise that price, but would definitely cut you a deal on both. The veil is just a simple floor length white veil with no tiers. I got everything at David`s Bridal but I couldn`t find a picture on there that matched up very well. If you can give me a couple days I can email you a picture of it. Does that sound ok? Let me know what you think about all this. Glad that you and I are in the same boat financially and are willing to help each other out! wish more of the country was this way!! Can`t wait to hear from you!! : )

Howdy,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly--- floor length and plain sounds perfect for the dress and I`m pretty darn sure that I will want the veil if it goes with the dress--but of course a picture would be very nice. I don`t know anything about veil prices but that sounds very fair to me. I`m still trying to get ahold of my mom--and will get back to you ASAP once I hear from her. What about the money? Should I send you a check? (Since I`m going to be begging my mom I should get all my ducks in a row so to speak). Anyhow, I really hope that this all works out! Hope to hear from you soon! heather

About the payment, I don`t think a check would be the best way to go. Since I would have to make sure the check clears before I mail out the dress and I don`t know how comfortable you would be with that. I would be a little worried that maybe someone would just take my money but maybe that`s just me. I use ebay a lot and I really think PayPal is the fastest and most efficient way to go. Have you ever used it before? The money comes right from a debit or credit card...your choice. I guess I would prefer to do it that way. I would receive the payment faster and I could mail it out a lot faster. I have off work tomorrow and plan on snapping some pictures for you. I will probably email them to you on monday or tuesday. Would that work for you? I will shoot for monday because I know how excited you are and don`t want to hold you in suspense. Let me know what you think! In the meantime, I will do a little research on veil prices, etc and see what we can work out. : )

Heather....Haven`t heard from you in awhile and was just curious if you are still interested in the dress? If not, please let me know so I can continue to look for other buyers. Last you told me you were going to speak with your mom. Please, if the price is the issue I would be more than willing to try to work something out. Hope to hear back from you!

Did you ever sell this dress? It`s the exact one I`m looking for and a size 10 is just about right. Please e-mail me at lneef@mindspring.com if it`s still out there.
