The Dress

PRICED TO SELL FOR ESTATE SALE!! FAIRY TALE DREAM! EXTREME BARGAIN!

Up for sale is an exquisite, couture Rena Koh tulle wedding ball gown. The dress was worn one time for a couple hours at the ceremony and for part of the reception. It is in fantastic condition. It was preserved in a box until I took it out for photos. The box with the dress in it was photographed before I took it out. I will put the gown back in the box to ship it.

I did steam it myself for a bit to take photos, but it will need a professional steaming after being put back in the box and shipped.

This Rena Koh knockout is right out of a fairytale book and was made like a dream. All the beading is in place. The bottom of the train will need some work, because I stepped on it a couple times. Any seamstress should be able to fix this and create a new hem at a small fraction of the cost that it would to buy this dress brand new. .From my naked eye, I have taken a picture of the most significant tear, but unless you were looking up close, everything else is minor at the bottom. The train will need to be re-bustled. If it were not for the bottom of the train, the dress would be in pristine condition. There might be a slight hole in the hip area, but you would have to look very up close to see it and probably can be fixed. No one would be able to see it while you wear the dress and too small for me to even take a picture of.

There are a few pictures of myself in it, but they are hard to see the detail so I tried my best to take a close-up of the gown. The beading is so classy and is placed in an asymmetrical fashion. I bought this gown at a boutique in Chicago and with alterations it cost me roughly $3000. It is absolutely timeless. It is white and not off-white. The beading has a rather iridescent and a sparkling look to it. It literally sparkles in The professional photos. The top is strapless and even has a piece of tulle that comes slightly above the neckline. The bra cups are still perfectly in place, but can easily be removed. The only work that needs to be done most likely will be the train which will need to be re-bustled. It really does not need to be cleaned, but for me personally if I were the bride I would probably have spot cleaned or professionally cleaned. Especially the underneath lining. But there are no noticeable stains. This dress will still be gorgeous in 50 years! Four layers of tulle and another satin layer underneath. The zipper is in perfect condition and has four eyes and hooks. Everything works perfect. The beading on the train is also asymmetrical and goes through the bottom of the train.

The dress says it's a size 10, but I lost weight before the wedding and so it's more like a size 8 petite. As I did have it shortened and altered a bit. I am 5 foot one and I wore roughly 3 inch heels.

Measurements:

Waist from the front at the most natural, highest part: roughly 14 inches. So most likely for someone with a waist of 28 to 29 inches

Bust across the front as if someone was wearing it: roughly 18 inches (at the time I was roughly a 34-36 B)

Top of the dress to the top of the drop waist: roughly 9 inches

Top of the dress to the bottom of the drop waist: roughly a little over 14.5 inches

Bottom of the drop waist to the bottom of the dress: roughly 36 inches

Top of the dress to the bottom of the dress: roughly 49 inches
