Today’s Special Pronovias Palas

I loved wearing this dress, who wouldn't? It made me feel like a total princess (for less than 6 hours). It has a long train which allows for major drama, but also felt very traditional and formal. I wore it once, dry-cleaned it with special wedding gown detailing the following day, and had it preserved in a keep-sake saver box ever since then. It looks virtually brand new, there are very VERY few signs of wear and tear, if any. This is the deal with me selling my wedding dress: I LOVED this dress and would wear it around the house while cleaning if I could.... but honestly after loosing my job a few weeks ago (hint: I am willing to negotiate price due to desire to sell the dress quickly) combined with the fact that I think wedding dresses are like cars...the moment you drive them off the lot they loose about 1/2 of their retail value - I want to move the dress quickly more than I want to maintain a high re-sell price; I believe $1,000.00 even is fair price for a 2 1/2 year old dress that looks and feels like new. The dress had very few alterations. I am tall (5"9) and I had to have the waist brought down a little to increase the length of the skirt (because in my wedding heels I was about 6"1). I had 5-6 extra points/folds put into the dress so that when it was bustled it looked more princess-like. Here are the basic stats of the dress: *Pronovias "Palas" Wedding Dress *Purchased in 2013 for $2, 800.00 *Street Size: 8 (M) / Label Size: 10 (L) *Lace, sweet heart bodice *Satin skirt *Tulle petticoats *Light Espresso colored waist sash/ribbon, which is detachable if you choose not to wear it. *Long cathedral-length train, which gives a ton of drama but which can easily be bustled. *Type: Wedding Dress *Sweetheart neckline with sequined detailing and inset boning *Brand: Pronovias *Color: Ivory, shades of ivory *Label Size:10 (L) *Street Size:8 (M) *Style Tags: Palas *Year Purchased: 2013 *Fabric: Lace and Satin and Tulle *Treated and specially dry cleaned the day after worn (about 6 hours), then preserved in box for safekeeping. *Silhouette: A-line *Neckline: Sweetheart *Sleeve Style: Strapless *Waistline: Natural Waist *Dress Length: Floor Length *Train Length: Cathedral Length *No visible signs of pre-wear or pre-owned *Retail quality, wear and tear very light *Minor alterations, a small bit of length added for increased length to the dress when worn with heels. *Extra points were added for an increased "princes-like" effect for when the gown is bustled. *Taken in at the bust slightly because I am small framed on top
