Leanne Marshall (winner of Project Runway season 5) "Marlowe" wedding dress - never worn,
I bought this absolutely gorgeous dress last fall for my wedding, which has since been called off.
I'm a solid size 6 (5'5" with a 36" bust, 28" waist) and it fits like a dream. I've never seen such a fun and beautiful dress - the details are amazing, the ruffles are so cute and flirty, and it has POCKETS hidden in them!!! I would still love to wear it someday, but without an actual wedding on the horizon, it just doesn't make sense to hold onto it.
This description from an online review almost does it justice - much more so than I could do:
"Leanne?s Marlowe is a wonderful combination of girly girl meets sophistication. From the sweetheart structured ruffle neckline to the fitted high waist lace bodice, the sophistication pours itself all over the finely fitted bodice. The true fun of the dress really begins just after the waistline, where the varying line of the lace ends and gives way to the ultra flirty full ruffle skirt kicks in. Beautifully draped and crafted of Italian silk organza, silk charmeuse & duchess silk-satin, this lovely one of a kind is a smash. This beautiful short wedding dress would be perfect for spring, & with the right spunky bride that wants to show her fun side, yet keep it sophisticated, will be beyond with."

You can check out Leanne and her other designs here: http://leanimal.com/#/bridal-/-collections/bridal.
Leanne was at the store when I bought it (at Lovely Boutique in the Village in NYC) and was just the absolute sweetest. I was the first non-model she'd seen in the dress as it's a new design, and I was the first person to purchase it. There's only a handful of them as her designs are only in a couple shops, so you know you'll be getting something unique and beautiful, which I really wanted (God forbid you end up looking like every single bride from that year wearing the same dress).
It's in absolutely perfect condition, still has the tags, and hasn't been altered at all. 100% ready for the right bride! I paid $2200 for it but obviously expect to let it go for less than that - starting at $1700, OBO.
I can't get the image uploader to work, but here are the pictures:
