Monique Lhuillier Scarlet Wedding Gown
I have a custom-made wedding gown by Monique Lhuillier in used/excellent condition - I am willing to sell it for $3,500. The dress is called Scarlet and it is an all-lace dress with a slip underneath. Both layers are in "bridal white" (between white and ivory). It is VERY flattering and is sexy without being over the top (ie - it is appropriate for a church wedding, but you will look very hot in it, too)
I fell in love with the back and neckline, but did not love the original lace (I felt it made a nauseating zig-zag pattern). Monique Lhuillier was kind enough to agree to make the dress using a different alencon lace pattern and she also raised the back for me so it could be worn with one of her beautiful sashes (a gold/champagne color). I also had the pearl buttons switched out for lace covered ones.
I wore this gown for my May 31st wedding, but it is in great condition and will easily pass as new for your wedding. I will include the sash and would consider including the veil (two layers, long layer is removable, short layer is on a metal comb - custom-made by Jin Wang bridal in San Francisco).
The dress is a bridal size 6 (street size 2 or 4). I did not have the dress`s size altered in any way (not taken in on the sides or let out anywhere - so it`s a true "bridal size 6" and is ready for alterations, if you need them). The only work I had done was to bustle the sweep-length train and to hem the bottom (I`m 5`4 and wore 3.5" heels by Christian Louboutin - I would also consider selling those).
I`m happy to send photos to anyone who is interested in buying this dress.
Thanks!

Please include your email address if you`d like me to send pics. You can also email me directly at aimeelafont at yahoo dot com (I`m writing it like that to hopefully avoid getting a ton of spam) if you have any questions. I`m planning to sell the dress within the next week and a half.

Sorry it took me so long to figure out how to post pictures on here - hope you all enjoy them. Ideally I`d like to sell it before I move next month. Please contact me asap if you`re interested. Thanks!
Realized you could barely see the sash color in the other one - so I`m posting one more. I have a ton of other pics, just let me know if you want/need to see more.

One last thing.. I was wrong when I called it "bridal white" - I`ve since learned the fabric (both the slip & the lace overlay) are "silk white"... Of the three lace color options (white white, silk white & ivory) it was the middle one... Not too bright white, but not yellow or anything else - a very nice, soft, flattering white.
