The Dress

Hi there! I bought this dress in 2019 at a store that only sold samples. The label on the inside says Jim Hjelm Style 8660, but I can only find it online as a Jim Hjelm by Hayley Paige dress (a 2017 style). It was a label size 12, but after losing 20 lbs I had to have the dress almost entirely remade (hence the removal of the thin strip of ribbon around the waist). The dress was bought for $1565.00 (as a sample, original price was $2570), alterations were $425 and dry cleaning after the wedding was $320.00. I was 5'3" and 129lbs at the time of the alterations/wedding. I wore 2.5" heels with it. This dress photographs so beautifully and our photo even made an ad in a local bridal magazine! Asking $1100 or best offer! Please feel free to message me for more photos- the very inside opaque layer has a few *tiny* spots on it from floating above the ground that the dry cleaner wasn't able to get out- these are not visible when wearing the dress.

Alterations

This dress was almost completely remade, the entire bottom half of the dress was detached and tucked in to shorten the length to preserve the hem, the sides were taken in, cups added and cap sleeves tightened so they didn't slip off.
