The Dress

I’m selling my gorgeous Jim Hjelm Tara Keely TK2200 dress. Jim Hjelm is the designer behind Tara Keely, Alvina Valenta, and Lazaro. This romantic and light flowy dress is guaranteed to stun on your wedding day. It is an ivory alencon lace bridal gown with strapless sweetheart neckline and elongated bodice, floral belt at natural waist (included), three-tiered tulle skirt with horsehair trim and chapel train (bustled in my photographs). I am hoping that you will love it as I did, and that the dress will bring you as much joy as it brought me.

Condition: This dress is from a smoke free home. The dress is in good condition; it was worn for a rooftop ceremony and indoor reception. There are no spills. There is a small tear in the back of the dress on the bottom tier of the three-tiered tulle skirt (and is not prominently located but rather hidden by the above layers); the tear has been professionally repaired (see photographs). The underside of the dress has minor wear; this dress has yet to be dry cleaned and could perhaps be worn without dry cleaning if the new owner chooses.

Cost: This dress was purchased from the bridal boutique for $1850 plus tax. The original floral belt IS included. The decision not to dry clean the dress was made to help reduce the price of this listing, and as such, the listed price reflects this decision. The listed price also reflects the repaired and minimally noticeable tear.

Please contact me if you have any further questions and/or would like to see more pictures or zoom for a better sense of the dress. If you are located in Los Angeles, CA, the dress is available for viewing and pick up. If you are located elsewhere, we can discuss shipping and insurance costs.

Thank you!
