J. Crew Sascha Gown: Ivory Size 6 -- $1200 (20% Off)
This is a gorgeous dress purchased from J. Crew's website.
Here's the description found there:
"A simple and sophisticated style sweetened with a self sash at the waist and silk habotai flowers. This beautiful midweight silk taffeta gown boasts a strapless silhouette, a notched sweetheart neckline and a fitted, boudoir-inspired bodice. Its full skirt features a tulle underskirt for added body. Specially packaged in a custom-made box to ensure your gown is always as beautiful as the first day you wear it."
*Silk taffeta.
*Boning and interior silk faille corset for added support.
*Back zip with covered buttons.
*On-seam pockets.
*Lined.
*Falls to floor.
*Dry clean.
My Personal Notes:
I wore this for my wedding in March 2012 and would like to resell as I won't wear it again and don't have a huge sentimental attachment.
It is in perfect condition and dry-cleaned; only wore for about 8 hours on wedding day and that is it! It has been stored well in non-smoking/pet-free home.
The matching silk taffeta sash is a separate piece that comes with the dress but is completely removable and need not be worn with the dress.
About the Size:
It is a label size 6 but felt a bit larger than a typical 6. So, I had the top bust part taken in about 1.5" Now will fit more like a typical or smaller size 6 (in my experience) As you can see in pictures, I do not have a large chest, which is a big reason I had it taken in on top. I did not have it hemmed or anything else altered. It was done very professionally and looks fantastic. I am 5'6," run from 135-140 pounds.
I wore flats on my wedding day and the dress ideally would have been hemmed about an inch or so but I didn't think it was necessary to do all this work. I wore the dress all night, danced in it, etc, and it held up great so wasn't so long that it was burdensome.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, are interested in learning more, or would like to see photos--I have many I can send your way! I will reply quickly to any emails regarding this listing.
