Reem Acra "Gamine" For Sale

I am selling a Reem Acra "Gamine" style dress. It is a size 6 - the measurements are 35/36, 27/28, 39 (although the hip measurement is really N/A, because the skirt is a-line). I am a true size 6 when I wore it. I am 5`8" and about 135 lbs. I wore a small heel.

The dress is ivory, with an a-line skirt, chapel train, fitted bodice (it has an internal corset), and sheer cap sleeves. There is gorgeouse and flattering antique gold (real antique gold tread) embroidery with seed pearls and Swarovski crystals all hand done on the bodice, sleeves and back. There is a custom internal bustle that is a six-point asymetrical design, but it can be removed or redone easily.

I wore it once, and immediately had it cleaned by J. Scheer & Co. They preserve clothing for the Smithsonian and guarantee that their work will keep any garment completely unharmed for 50 years. It is a costly cleaning process, but well-worth it. The dress is literally devoid of any stains, residue, or hidden odors. It is like new. You may check out J.Scheer`s work at www.jscheer.com.

They also cleaned my veils and matching purse. If you are interested in the veils and purse, let me know. I can provide details on those items as well.

I also have a tiara that is made of antiqued silver (read: real silver, not silver-colored or coated metal) with handset Swarovski crystals. The design mimics the design on the bodice almost exactly.

I paid over $4100 for the dress. I would be willing to part with it for $2000. I paid $450 for the tiara. You may have it for $225.

I have photos of the items, and if you live near me you may see them in person.
