Chase1515 on "FS – Gorgeous Alvina Valenta #9503 Mermaid Gown – Couture Dry-Cleaned"

Chase1515 — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:51:09 +0000

I am selling the beautiful Alvina Valenta gown that I wore for my August 2009 wedding.  The strapless gown embodies the romanticism of an Alvina Valenta gown, with a mermaid shape, intricate Alencon lace and ribbon detailing along the bodice and the hem, and a long satin ribbon and true buttons all the way down the back.  My photographer told me it was one of the prettiest dresses they had seen all year, and it photographed beautifully (the ivory satin ribbon detail shimmered under the lights of our reception and really popped against the subtle sheen of the gown).    Though the dress was in very good condition after the wedding, I spent over $500 to have it professionally cleaned by Madame Paulette, a world-renowned couture cleaning expert based in NYC who cleaned Melania Trump’s wedding gown.  I inspected the gown before they carefully packed it into a box with acid-free tissue, and it looked beautiful.   The details are as follows:   Style Number – Alvina Valenta #9503   Size – The gown itself is labeled as a Size 12 (Street Size 8).  I lost some weight leading up to the wedding and had the gown altered to about a Street Size 4.  I am 5’4” and wore about 3” heels on my wedding day.  I had the tailor build a French bustle into the gown for the reception.   Color – The gown is a rum pink duchess satin (I would describe the color as ivory with a subtle pink tinge – it is a signature Alvina Valenta color), and the Alencon lace and satin ribbon detail are ivory.   This gown retailed for $3500, and I am asking $2700 or best offer.  I am selling the gown final sale “as is”, which means no returns will be accepted.  I am happy to provide as many photos/details necessary to make you feel comfortable with the purchase.  You can visit the following link to view photos of the gown on my wedding day as well as photos that I took post-dry cleaning to prove that it is in beautiful condition:   <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/sredir?uname=amandabhalla1&target=ALBUM&id=5407076234221130833&authkey=Gv1sRgCKSiiL-ekevTXw&feat=email"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/sredir?uname=amandabhalla1&target=ALBUM&id=5407076234221130833&authkey=Gv1sRgCKSiiL-ekevTXw&feat=email" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/sredir?uname=amandabhalla1&target=ALBUM&id=5407076234221130833&authkey=Gv1sRgCKSiiL-ekevTXw&feat=email</a></a>   Please call Amanda at 917-733-4270 or e-mail <a href="mailto:amandabhalla1@gmail.com"><a href="mailto:amandabhalla1@gmail.com">amandabhalla1@gmail.com</a></a> with any offers or questions about the gown.

Yes, I was a two dress bride.  Bought this dress at a sample sale.  It's in perfect, new condition! Sweep train, skirt is layers and layers of ivory tulle.  Bodice is ruched with lovely sliver thread and beading.  Very sexy, feminine shape.  Comfortable and lightweight.  Perfect for a destination wedding.   Message me for pics.  It's a steal and priced to sell! Measurements: Bust 38" Waist 30" Hips 40.5" Length Fits up to 6'1" wearing flats.  Retail price of dress was $1200 and I paid $700.  Again, it is in brand new condition even though it was a sample.  I did not wear it because the theme of my wedding changed.  I will consider all offers.

I love this beautiful dress!  Everyone said it has that "wow factor".  I paid $3700 for it and willing to sell it for $2500.  I bought it as a size 6 from the Priscilla of Boston shop and also have it altered there.   My measurements are: 33" Bust, 27" Waist, 37.5" Hips, 5'1" Height w/4" heels.  The seamstress added a very tiny "hook" on the skirt to add/shorten length of the skirt by ~2-3 inches. She also added bra cups Size C that can be removed. I am also selling the floor-length veil (Priscilla of Boston #V676 1 Tier) that I wore with this dress.  It's ivory and measures 108"x54" with beads all around the borders of this beautiful veil.  I paid $600 for it and selling it for $300.  The gown will come with its original bag and packaging. Only for a serious buyer with Paypal account. Also check out my other dress that I wore at my reception-->Platinum #PL269M Short Strapless Dress w/Spring Parade Russian Veil. <a href="http://classifieds.weddingbee.com/topic/platinum-short-strapless-dress-white-size-6-4#post-78951" rel="nofollow">http://classifieds.weddingbee.com/topic/platinum-short-strapless-dress-white-size-6-4#post-78951</a> Email: <a href="mailto:japkat31@hotmail.com  ">japkat31@hotmail.com  </a>

This bridal size 10/street size 6 ivory trumpet/mermaid strapless Marisa 737 wedding gown was purchased new from an Atlanta bridal salon for $2100+ (original receipt available upon request) and worn once for my October 2009 wedding. It is from Marisa's Spring 2008 collection and features a 100% silk bodice, hand applied alencon lace, and a chapel train. $150 in alterations were completed to add covered buttons over the zipper, bustle, sweetheart neckline, padding, and taken in slightly at the waist and hips. All alterations can be undone as no fabric was cut during the fitting process. Also, the hem was not altered from its original length - I am 5'7" with no shoes and wore 2" heels. This gown is extremely comfortable, photographs beautifully, and is in excellent condition. Professional dry cleaning will be included in the purchase price. Serious buyers are welcome to try the gown on prior to sale if in the Atlanta area. Cash or paypal only and sale is final. Please email for more information.

Hi girls, I am a size 0-2 looking for a strapless mermaid lace gown in ivory. I don't mind if it's been preowned as brides take good care of their dresses anyway. I am on a tight budget so hope there will be some options for me here. I am looking to buy a dress very quickly and can confirm and make payment immediately. If you have something as described send pics or links and I will get back to you asap!

you are looking at a "new sample" dress I purchased at a high end bridal boutique in Dallas, TX.    it's in very good condition for a sample. there are some marks in the inside of the dress and one very minor rip (half an inch long) in the skirt that is very hard to notice.  it probably only needs a cleaning.  It retails $3000+ NEW.  you can still view the dress on the la sposa website under collection 2009.  it was never altered or worn to a wedding.    i am selling it because this was the first dress I tried on and bought it because it was just too beautiful!  however i realised it doesn't match my wedding  theme. it is a beautiful mermaid silhouette with alencon lace spinkled everywhere and  tulle skirt.  you have the option of removing tulle from the inside of the dress if the floof is too much.  adjustable straps, however u can also remove them if you want.  this dress will give you amazing curves and hide any unwanted bumps because it has excellent structure to it.  truly a figure flattering dress (that's why I loved it so much!).  this dress definitely deserves to be worn by another bride.  you are welcome to come try it on if you're local.  please don't hesitate to ask me questions by email to <a href="mailto:meemzchang@gmail.com">meemzchang@gmail.com</a>.  Thanks for looking! i am askingn for $1099.

Hi! Well my wedding is over :( so I am going to sell my beautiful Maggie Sottero style Milana dress.  It is the champagne with light gold overlay style and I also had a halter made for the dress which you can snap on if you would like a halter rather than a strapless or you could do both because it just snaps on and off.  I just didn't want my girls to fall out when I was gettin' jiggy on the dance floor! :) It is a size 6 petite and I did not have it altered.  It is a corset back which allows the dress to go up and down in size.  I am a street size 2-4 but I needed the 6 because I have a large chest.  I am 5'6 and chose to get the petite style because I didn't have to have the hem altered which saved me a lot of money.  I am also selling my shoes that I wore too, and the veil and hair fascinator. The bottom of the dress does have some dust but not much at all because we had our reception in a ballroom that had carpet.  I bought the dress for $780 + $40 dollars for the halter strap that I had made. I am willing to part with it for $500 and buyer pays for shipping. I have the Maggie Sottero Certificate to go with it too.

j.grossman13 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:40:52 +0000

No bad luck, I found a hot vintage dress to wear instead!  Beautiful strapless lace gown with intricate beading and a hidden zipper, size 10. It is a trumpet shape, cross between an A-line and a mermaid shape, very flattering. This is from Casablanca's Diamond Collection which is their couture line. I bought it because it was so unique and so few other brides would have it. I have all the good pics on photobucket, link at the bottom. The measurements for this size as follows: bust=37 inch, waist= 28 inch, hips=39 inch, total length=58 1/2 inch. It has not been altered since purchase. This dress has only been tried on, tags are still on it from Casablanca along with tags from the store I purchased from with the price I paid. There are some slight marks from trying it on and from it being on a mannequin, but only on the underskirting and inner lining (It is fully lined down to the floor, very well made). The outside of the dress is flawless. Asking $550 or best offer, typical price for this dress new is over $1200. Please email me for any other pics you need or call with questions 717-215-2424, I am located near Harrisburg PA, I can travel to meet you if you're relatively close, or could ship this dress to wherever you may be. More pics here: <a href="http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l132/skylinegrl13/Casablanca%20dress/%22">&lt;span style="color: #81a026; font-size: x-small;"&gt;http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l132/skylinegrl13/Casablanca%20dress/</a>
