Reem Acra "Paradise" For Sale

Hi,
I am selling my Reem Acra Paradise wedding gown. My wedding was September 4, 2004 and the dress is in perfect condition. Also, since I changed into a different outfit for the majority of the reception, the dress really was worn only for two hours. We bought it at Marshall Field`s Bridal Salon in Chicago and paid about $6500. Also we had an awesome seamstress at the Bridal Salon do the bustle for us (the ties are all color-coded, so it`s about matching them up in back). My asking price is $3700.

We ordered the dress in a 12. I am a regular size 8-10 in normal clothes, but I wanted to have plenty of room for any alterations we wanted to do. I am not super-curvy, so it was mainly trying to get the dress to be a nice fit to my body and my bust (34B). I also worse a sort of corset type bra thing underneath which added about 1/2" around, which was suggested by the Bridal Salon as the extremely fine handsewn beading on the dress needs something smooth and with little friction underneath to look its best. Finally, I`m 5`8" and wore 1" heels. There is still room for alterations as well, especially if you wanted to take it in more at the waist. My asking price is $3700, but I am open to your offer as well.
