After much thought and consideration, I've decided to consider offers on my dress. I so wanted to indulge all the comments that told me to keep my dress, cherish it, and watch my future (possible) daughter twirl in it down the road. But, there were very convincing arguments for selling it as well. Not only will I be making another bride happy and making a conscious decision to recycle, but you gals (and guys) gave me some great ideas for what to spend the money on: a high-end photo album, a weekend escape for our one-year anniversary, a less-expensive replica of the dress for memory's sake.
To be honest, we've been trying to get our finances in order (Mr. CB's had three ACL reconstructions) and could use this towards a down payment on a house. It would just be a start, but a fairly good one.
So, without further adieu, make me an offer!
Julianna, by Christos, sells for $3650 in bridal salons. She's had $450 worth of alterations but she does need a new button for the bustle. She has no tears, holes, or stains.
She's a size 2 and will fit someone with the measurements: 34-24-34. She's cut to a length of 5'5" (including heels). I'm 5' 2 1/2" and wore 2 1/2" heels.
If you're interested, comment below or send me a private message (PM) and we can discuss the details. :)
@Lilyann: Thanks for asking. If the dress-buyer doesn't want to buy the belt too, I prefer to keep it. If I can't keep the dress, I'd at least like to keep the accessories at keepsakes. Thanks.
I wish wish wish your wedding was sooner, or mine was later...since I already bought my dress! I would have snatched this away from you in a heartbeat...and we are pretty much the exact same measurements 32-23-34, 5'2"...I'm going to cry...
Hi, sorry I know its been a long time since you put this up but I am wondering if the dress is still available? And if you dont want to sell the belt (totally undersrandable) do you know where i can purchase one? Thanks
Aw cowboy boot! I loved your wedding, and your dress! And I'm sure it will make another bride very, very happy.
That being said, you are TINY and I can't fit in it :( Otherwise I'd be all over it!
