The Dress

WATTERS RIDLEY/58410 WEDDING DRESS

This dress is gorgeous! and am quite torn actually, in having decided to sell this dress.

This dress was purchased/ordered February 2018. This dress is in BRAND NEW, UNALTERED, NEVER WORN CONDITION.

WHAT HAPPENED/WHY AM I SELLING? I walked into the wedding dress shop with the hope of finding a dress under $1250, but was willing to go up to $1500. This dress was listed as $1595, and wasn't a dress that was recommended for me to try on due to being over my price range. Well, when I saw the dress on the rack myself, I immediately felt the need to try it despite it's price tag. The dress really had almost everything I wanted - it was gorgeous, light weight, airy, easy to move in, had beatuiful floral detailing that wasn't too overpowerng, it gave off a boho, free sprit vibe but also had the simplicity and cleaness of a modern look as well. I'd say it checked off pretty much everything I was looking for in a dress, except the price, the train (wanted a dress with no train or shorter train), and the back was a lot more showy than I wanted (I'm pretty demure, and wanted a little more coverage in the back). I knew the train and back were things I could change with alterations and money. I reasoned with myself that the dress was only about $100 more than what I was willing to spend anyways, and the cost of alterations were something I could expect with any dress I had planned to buy. Besides the dress was gorgeous, and pretty much nearly met everything else on my checklist, and based on everything else i had tried on that day, that was the closest dress to being perfect. I bought the dress, and flash forward to today, I am having some anxieties about alterations and spending the extra money to do that, and the unsurety of whether the alterations will look good or will all work out. If I was altering to size or fit the dress perfectly to my body, that's an alteration I'm willing to undergo and spend money for. My intended plans for alteration were to cut train off and add that lace to the back part of dress, my anxieties are there becuase of all the unsurety on how the dress will turn out, along with the costs I'd have to fork over for alterations, with the dress already being slighty overbudget when I initially purchased. So instead, I've decided to sell this dress. Again, it is BRAND NEW, UNWORN, UNALTERED CONDITION.

Update: Dress already in my posession.

CONSIDERING THIS DRESS? Consider finding a boutique/dress shop near you that has this sample gown for you to try on. If you're happy with it, ask for them to give you the dress size you should order based on your measurements. If the recommended dress size for you is a 6 or lower, then this dress will work for you.

PRICING: I've kept the price still pretty close to the original tag price I bought it for, because it is still brand new, unsused, unworn, unaltered. Keep in mind when you buy from your local boutique/wedding shop, they will also likely add tax, and a shipping fee to get the dress delivered to the store. What I had spent/ my out the door price for this dress including tax and shipping was $1704. So you will have some savings if you buy the dress here.

WHEN WILL DRESS BE READY TO SHIP?: Dress is ready to ship!

INCLUDED PHOTOS: Some from the designers website. Rest are of myself, trying on the sample gown at the dress shop. This sample size gown was larger and needed clipping to the back. Sorry, I don't have any photos of myself for the back of the dress. The rest of photos are pictures of the dress in my home, please pardon the lighting.
