The time has come for me to part with my lovely gown. I wore it once when it mattered and twice more for photo shoots, which is far more mileage than I imagined it would get. It took me almost a year to be rid of the sentimental value offered by the dress, but now that I'm free, I know it can better serve someone else.

FOR SALE:

Pronovias Diamante, size 10, from 2008 collection.

• Made in Spain, high-quality craftsmanship, raw silk materials
• Dress has been cleaned and preserved once, then worn for a photo shoot
• A second cleaning would be advised to remove dirt from hem
• Dress has not been hemmed at all (I am 5' 11") and will best suit someone who can have it hemmed 1.5 - 2 inches to remove any silk discoloration on hem that might remain after cleaning
• $300 in alterations have been done to create a very attractive V-back (this dress was MADE for it!) bring in the bust/waist slightly, and add bust cups
• My measurements are 36/26/38 - original size 10 gown measurements are 36.5/27.5/39.5 
• Comes in storage box with shape-keeping bustpiece and archival muslin
• Current retail price: $1800

Asking price: $1500 OBO

Also for sale:

• Silk tulle chapel-length veil. Worn once, perfect condition. Retail: $200. Asking price: $150 OBO
• Vintage floral headpiece (barette, could be altered to comb). Worn once, perfect condition. Retail: $60. Asking price: $40 OBO

Hi Mrs. Cherry Pie!  was the train on the dress ever altered?  I am very interested in your veil and i am planning on ordering a dress soon, but the salon im going through has a special if i get a dress before May 7th, i can get a free veil, BUT i dont know if they have silk tulle and after seeing how flowy it is, i have to have it!  I will contact you soon whether i decide on going with a diamante so i know the length will be appropiate.  btw, would you take $100 for the veil?  Thank you!

aloha,

Lynn

Lynn: I never altered the train on my dress. It was set up to be bustled as a French bustle (I think) but nothing was shortened or taken off.

Unfortunately the veil has been sold. Sorry! :(

Mrs-to-Be: I definitely have lots of photos of the dress in full. Check out some of my recaps for photos:

I'm interested in your hair flower.  Would you be willing to part with it for $30?

Thanks!
