The Dress

Elegant, whimsical, timeless, this August Jones gown is a dream.

Made of satin covered in tulle, the gown is decorated with romantic embroidered vines and delicate tulle flowers, with accents of tiny pearls and translucent sequins. The vines, flowers, and subtle sparkles add organic movement to the formal style. Slight tulle ruching enhances the flattering lay of the bodice, and the tulle covering the skirt gives a lovely flow and glow in natural lighting.

The ample train makes for a grand entrance, and the 8-point French bustle allows for free movement to get your boogie on after the ceremony.

After holding onto the gown for years because I love it so much, I'd love for it to find new life and help make your wedding day a dream.

I am 5'8" and wore flats with the gown. Bra size 32C or 34B.

The low price comes from the gown's 2006 vintage, and from the fact that I have not had it dry cleaned. The visible needs for dry cleaning are: minor soiling on the underside seams of the train where the gown flowed across the ground during our outdoor wedding, and three minuscule dots of food on the bodice (about the size of the dot a ballpoint pen makes, only visible if you look very closely). All these should come out just fine in cleaning.

Besides this need for cleaning, the outside of the gown is in perfect condition.

One of the inner petticoat layers of the skirt is slightly damaged at the base of the slip's backside: with a six-inch vertical rip and a couple of small holes/snags in that same petticoat layer near the rip (the last picture included above). This would be easy to repair, but not necessary. It doesn't affect the look of the dress.

Willing to negotiate to include the double-layer veil, as well.
