The Dress

First, I want to tell you, I LOVE this dress! I want you to enjoy it as much as I did! Comfy, spaghetti strap lace with intricate beading on front and wrapping to the back. It is PERFECT ! The train is long and styled with buttons down the back.
It wasn't altered to my height; 5 ft 8in. The straps altered along with beading put on and sewn tighter to fit. Slip is inside but still lightweight dress for its size ( I had an August wedding).

I want to share the most important reason I'm selling this; to help others and give back. And you can too! ALL the proceeds will go to http://www.adornedingrace.org/. All proceeds for this organization are used to promote awareness and prevention of sex trafficking as well as restoration for trafficking victims.

Did you know that:
Human trafficking is currently the second largest & fastest growing crime industry as it reportedly generates a profit of $150 billion every year. And, of that number, nearly half is made in industrialized countries. It is estimated that an exploiter may earn as much as $650,000 in a year by exploiting as few as 4 children!

The National Incidence of Missing, Abducted, Runaway, and Throwaway (NISMART) children estimate that 1.6 million children run away from home each year in the US and one in three teens will be recruited by a predator within 48 hours of leaving home
Women and girls represent the largest share of forced labor victims. The average age of entry into the commercial sex industry in the US is 12 years old.

According to the U.S. State Department, 600,000 to 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders every year
80% are female and half are children. At least 100,000 to 300,000 youth are at risk for commercial sexual exploitation annually in the US alone.

Women and children in YOUR community are being sexually exploited every day. This is a meaningful and tangible way WE can do something about it! Let's make a lasting impact in the life of a survivor or at-risk teen and give that gorgeous dress the chance to give back--even again and again!
By donating to Adorned in Grace, you are providing an opportunity for someone else to discover love and hope as they had never thought possible. Choose to let your wedding day be about more than just you through an act of selfless generosity.

The stats above were copied from organization's websites but you can do the research too. The dress alone is beautiful and meaningful. The fact that you'll be generously giving to an uplifting cause makes it even better.
Much love, Jessie
