Sweetheart neckline strapless beaded wedding ballgown by Joveá

Sweetheart neckline beaded and appliqued strapless wedding ballgown, ALMOST excellent worn condition. Dress was purchased new. Veil is available in a separate listing! I am still very happily married, but this gorgeous gown no longer fits me and it's time to say goodbye to it. This gown is VERY full. It has a sheath lining overlaid with many layers of tulle. There are beaded appliques near the waistline of the skirt. The seamstress covertly installed 33 hooks-and-eyes to bustle the train following the ceremony. The wedding was outdoors, so naturally there are a few minor snags and small holes at the very bottom of the raw edge hemline of the skirt and train. If you are not 5'9" tall (like me) you will need the hemline taken up which will cut off most of the little flaws anyways. IMPORTANT: the most significant flaw on the gown is a rip near a seam on an inner layer of tulle, as pictured. A seamstress could easily repair this. The bodice of the gown is a beaded and appliqued sweetheart neckline which comes to a "V" in the back. The inside of the bodice has a thick elastic band with hook closures to help hold the weight of the gown and to aid in the closing of it, which is a sturdy zipper and hook-and-eye, enclosed with 11 covered buttons. All in excellent condition. Pictured measurements are approx and taken flat. Gown has been in storage and will need to be steamed, especially after shipping. Priced to cover the extra shipping fees. Thank you for stopping by!
